::I'll attempt to rewrite it today, but I really don't get how this is plagiarism. Especially seeing how I actually sourced where this came from. If I intended to plagiarize, I would not have sourced it, claiming it was all my findings, not even source the material, since that's exactly how plagiarism works, which is stealing credit. Since I did credit the source, then logically, it shouldn't be considered plagiarism. However, like I said, I'll fix it today.

:::I've added an idea for the re-write. The only issue that I had before was that the source stated as the article writing should make the article verbatim. Just... make the article re-worded completely. We've gotten in trouble with semi-verbatim before.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 15:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC) | :::I've added an idea for the re-write.

::::Rewrite it completely? Gee, that might be a pickle. I'll attempt it, but I get the feeling that making a complete rewrite will be impossible as some words may have to be copied. After all, the only way to completely rewrite the article is to make it so that it bears absolutely no resemblance to any other article not just in punctuation or words, but also style and all of the writing laws I had to go through in school. You may need to give an example so I can know what to do to make sure it fits at least your definition. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 15:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC) |
