Crocoite, thanks for the short block on User:MJSvensson. By the way, sometimes copying is of someone's ''own work'' on the other site, and that is acceptable. Others may not be aware of our rules against copying from another wiki. Is there any chance I should lift MJSvensson's block for a potential misunderstanding?--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 12:03, 4 March 2008 (EST)

:I understand that sometimes it is ok to copy if it is their own work. I checked the IBM 5250 article and it was a direct copy from http://indopedia.org >[http://indopedia.org/index.php?title=IBM_5250 Indopedia - IBM 5250]. Indopedia says "Articles started before 24 Dec 2004 are outsourced from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and occasionally developed by Indopedia authors."
:I then checked the revision history and it appears this article was a direct copy from Wikipedia (cur) (last) 13:08, 12 Oct 2004 137.111.13.34 [http://indopedia.org/index.php?title=IBM_5250&action=history Revision history].
:His IBM 3270 article appears to copy parts directly from Wikipedia.
:Perhaps we can lift his block if he can substantiate these articles were his original work. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 12:16, 4 March 2008 (EST)
