Plagiarism
July 23rd 2007 07:43
Perhaps there should be a post somewhere that explains how to correctly attribute work so no-one falls into the plagiarism trap.
When Mrs M left the above comment on a post by Nick, I figured that it the someone mentioned might as well be me. So here is my guide to plagiarism, so far as I see it as relevant to blogging.
Plagiarism is where one takes the material of another, and claims it as their own. You can avoid doing this one of two ways. A: Be as original as you can with your content, taking personal experience and fisrst hand or accumulated knowledge as your article's basis. B: Reference where the original idea/article came from.
So. We know you don't have to thank anyone if you made it up, or if it's common sense. Some examples of this include;
My cousin said...
It's well known that the Nazi's were brutal...
However, the latter one, while not plagurism, could use a link to a source to identfy credability.
Now. What IS clearly plagarism. If I tell a witty anecdote that is word for word what somebody else said, or rephrases what they said - that is plagurism.
If I use somebodies main ideas without referencing, then that's borderline.
The good news here (and there is good news) if that if you're plagurising somebody, you'll know it. If you still don't really get it, here's a little checklist.
* Is the Entire work and all ideas my own?
* IF NOT Have I given credit to the source of the ideas?
* OR have I divulged whom I am quoting?
* IF I AM QUOTING directly have I permission to do so?
* IF NOT am I taking a small reasonable quote?
If you get to a solid no? That's plagurism.
The main rule though, above all else.
Don't do anything to upset people. And make sure you're being smart and not oversensitive before accusing somebody of plagurism.

Anne Coulter - Nowhere to hide
July 7th 2007 07:12
Anne Coulter, the dear sweet lady who most Australians regard as everything they dislike about Americans lumped into a nice pair of legs, is an extremely good debater. Not because she makes any kind of sense, but rather the lingo to fight off attacks.
In a rare blow to her ability to make shit look like gold, she gets pretty pwned in this clip when John Edwards wife rings up to basically ask her why she needs to be so nasty.
Moral? Unless you have something real to say, hate and avoiding the issue will only get you so far.
