== [[Barry Farber]] article - plagiarism ==
== [[Barry Farber]] article ==
The first paragraph is fine, but I noticed that the last 6 paragraphs of the [[Barry Farber]] article are '''identical''' to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Farber Wikipedia] article of the same name, as of June 3, 2010. I'm currently busy with meetings and won't have time to research any changes for almost a week, but I wanted to bring it to your attention since it is a ''verbatim copy of the article text from Wikipedia'', and I believe this sort of behavior should be avoided. If you're the user at Wikipedia who wrote that article, I apologize for the inconvenience, but please state so on the talk page.

:I think you should examine the text in greater detail, Tyler. There are only so many ways to say the same thing, and occasional duplication of phrases can occur, but I don't see they are identical. In any event, something like this should be handled discretely, rather than posted publicly as you did. Your doing so makes me suspect your judgment and goodwill. Dr. Jensen should know a thing or two about writing, and his statement stands as a good hallmark. --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 08:11, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
