I have not nor will I not. Not really on ethical grounds, although it is a pretty shitty thing to do, but because the consequences are far greater than getting a shitty grade.

I once submitted a 132 page bio project that was entirely plagiarised from wikipedia but i don't think that counts.
I've been accused of plagiarism and I've discreetly written Wikipedia articles in my own words for smaller projects but apart from that, never.
I have a tendency to not plagiarize but... expand on someone else's idea. For example I once did an entire paper by breaking down a Charles Lindbergh speech and expanding on it point by point.
i pick the wiki articles in english and translate them to french. though that actually requires more work than putting something together from the info you gather. i translated buddy rich's biography for a music paper once. it was like 2 pages and it took me 2-3 hours. :/
google translate?
no kirbx, it would be totally shitty. i'm bilingual so i translate myself
you just fix whats wrong and there you go
I'm trilingual :cool:
nah i prefer doing the whole thing so that it has a trace of my writing style in it and it doesn't look too plagiarizedQuote:

Never, I'm strangely opposed to the idea and always have been. I feel more guilty doing it than I would stealing from a shop or molesting an unwilling member of the Hispanic race.

I dunno, what do you count as plagarism? Research is just copying from a bunch of essays and then drawing your own conclusions, to put it really bluntly. You need to be at PHD level to truly have the qualifications to start from scratch. I've never passed off someone else's work as mine, but I sure as heck use a lot of it to cobble together my own.
I didn't type anything. I literally copy pasted everything I could find on the topic from wikipedia with a few pictures.
I like editing Wikipedia to screw with people like you. :lol:
People who edit wikpedia are losers.
People who copy from Wikipedia are getting help FROM those losers.
90% of any good wiki articles are locked from editing
Has Midnight the dark Espeon just DESTROYED Rayne? Is he the beacon of light PD has been waiting for?Quote:
