Difference between revisions of "Conservapedia:Copying"

Revision as of 20:18, March 22, 2007

Use this page to note of articles that appear to have been copied from other sources, or that appear to have made use of large amounts (more than a paragraph) from other sources.

Because Conservapedia's policies on copying are not yet clear, and are not obvious to users, most of these entries will have been made in good faith by users who are trying to help Conservapedia.

If you can tell, put the material under the proper heading.

I don't think there's any rush to do anything in particular about these until it's clear what the policy is. Dpbsmith 14:01, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Do not know which heading to put it under
