Debate:Is there a problem with simply copying content from other sites? (view source)
Revision as of 01:55, July 13, 2007
, 01:55, July 13, 2007→Yes
I want to add to my point: Rather than wholesale copying of menial information about baseball terms or naval ships or football terms (things that are very well documented elsewhere), why isn't time being focused on the requested pages [[Conservapedia:Articles_That_Need_To_Created|here]] or [[Special:Wantedpages|here]]? Do we want Conservapedia to be valued for it's complete list of volcano terminology or do we wanted users who come here to be able to find out more about [[Divine grace]], [[Divinity of Jesus]], or the [[Impact of Jesus on world history]]?

I personally disagree with copying from government websites; tax funded or not. Seeing as how Mr. Schlafly protected the talk page over this issue, it seems the prevailing view is that this is legally sound. However, even if it is "our money, our right," it's still plagarism to ''use this information word for word without an explicit quotation''. If you don't believe me try writing a term paper this way and see if you get kicked out of school. This contest has only done bad things for CP.

It's OK to copy images from wikipedia, just not the content, right? [[User:Joseph88|Joseph88]] 20:36, 12 July 2007 (EDT)
