Here's an example of an improperly cited quote - which I will fix a moment later
Plagiarism is intellectually dishonest, and in the [[academic]] and professional community is considered to be a serious offense, and can lead to academic suspension, expulsion, or loss of a job. <ref>http://www.pbs.org/newshour/media/media_ethics/casestudy_blair.php</ref>

{{quotebox|
the definition of plagiarism as cited at Harvard's Faculty of Arts & Sciences (click "Writing with Sources: Misuse of Sources"):
Plagiarism is passing off a source’s information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to acknowledge that source—an act of lying, cheating, and stealing.
See also Harvard's "Writing with Sources: Common Questions about Sources" (emphasis mine):
4. Am I plagiarizing if I accidentally use a few vivid phrases from my reading without citing them? Yes; it’s your responsibility to avoid such accidents (p. 14b).}}
==Relation to copyright==
Plagiarism and [[copyright]] infringement are separate concepts, and don't necessarily overlap. An act of plagiarism can also qualify as copyright infringement if the work being copied is copyrighted<ref>http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html</ref>. However, it is still plagiarism to copy a work that is in the [[public domain]] without providing a citation<ref>http://www.csuchico.edu/lins/Oasis/Ch4/IA1a2.html</ref>.
