 * This notice was copied verbatim, and is used on lostpedia, cavemen, theevent and whitecollar wikia's. It was preceded by the statement: "A transcript is a retrospective written record of dialogue, and like a script (a prospective record) may include other scene information such as props or actions [..]"  Which I take to mean that these are not copies of CW scripts, but community created transcript based on what we experienced on screen (secondhand scripts?), and likely to contain our scene interpretations and errors. Hence: ""The description contained herein represents viewers' secondhand experience of CW's The 100.".  I strongly prefer this wording over your "taken from"


 * I know your concerns about wikia policy, but the legal nuances here are beyond me. There are many wiki's on wikia that offer transcripts, there is even a transcripts.wikia.com, and most do not offer anything beyond the mainpage disclaimer, if at all.  My hope is that we can offer at least this credit to CW and the 100. Not to play lawyers, discerning what side of the line fair-use educational purposes disclaimers fall at wikia . Although I have a strong suspicion that if we ever get near the fair-use market potential clause CW will let wikia know ;)  With that in mind, the first line doesn't necessarily implies that we have permission from CW, it can mean that we are using it according to generic-fair-use-legal-mambojambo-i-don't-understand, follow by affirmation of CW rights.


 * Personally, I prefer that we use the same disclaimer as the other wikia's.
