| | + | Technotronical: I got your email and will reply soon. I have been very busy lately. Also, sorry about Minuteman blocking you without a good explanation.<br /> |
| | + | Progressingamerica/Technotronical: Minuteman blocked Technotronical because it detected numerous questionable words and phrases being posted on [[Red Hair]], [[Blockbuster Video]], and [[Let's Make a Deal]]. These were mostly sexual in nature. I am willing to provide details which are not appropriate for polite company, but not on an open talk page. There were also evidences of possible plagiarism going on with [[Red Hair]], so Minuteman didn't like that either. I have set Minuteman to "Trust" Technotronical, so it will be much less likely to issue blocks against this user in the future.<br /> |
| | + | Technotronical: I am seeing some material in [[Red Hair]] which seems to have been copied in. I see duplicate content on pages like: |
| | + | *https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/melanocortin-1-receptor |
| | + | *The book "Advances in Cancer Research" by Paul B. Fisher and Kenneth D. Tew |
| | + | *https://www.definitions.net/definition/red+hair |
| | + | *and of course, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair |
| | + | Except for short, clearly labeled quotes, you should never use the exact words of other people. Additionally, you should always cite your sources, for any facts or ideas retrieved from other places. |
| | + | 1990'sguy: Thanks for the quick response! Again, I've been quite busy the last few weeks. |
