Plagiarism dispatch
Hi Kablammo, given recent discussions, I'd like to re-run your old "Let's get serious about plagiarism" dispatch from 2009. Would you have any objections? If needed, I'd love for you to make any pertinent updates or changes. Best, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:37, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- I have no objections. I doubt that any updates are needed— the prohibition of plagiarism is based on simple ethics, which do not change. The internet may make plagiarism easier, but does not make it right. Kablammo (talk) 17:04, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've copied the old article to here. You don't have to tell me; I caught seven undergraduates plagiarizing last week. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Removing one source tags
Hi Kablammo, please don't remove the one source tags for the sections until there is more than one source used as a reference. That's the purpose of the tag. Hopefully other editors will see those and realize that those sections need help and references and will improve the page. ThanksMonopoly31121993 (talk) 22:16, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Monopoly31121993, where the text recites what the source says, and cites to the relevant pages of the publicly-available online source, we don't need an additional source to tell us what we already know. The section in question needs no help or additional references, and there is no better reference for what the report says than the report itself. The addition of a tag such as you added adds nothing, and detracts from the article. Kablammo (talk) 02:04, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
