Arguments about content should go here on the talk page, and not in the content. Also links should be included as such and not just chucked into the text whole. Not to mention that a lot of the statements made here probably require more textual support than they are provided with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Therumor (talk • contribs) 14:06, June 8, 2006
There is an older relevant talk page discussion that already ironed out most of this business. The points made in that prior discussion should be consulted, especially BLP concerns. I will die on the hill that even mentioning the singular sentence from Ernest Hemingway that was copied by error into War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is wholly unwarranted for a WP:BLP. I already made a little section on it in the book's wiki article. Additionally, there has been minimal coverage of the incident beyond 2014. There haven't been any newer allegations since Ketcham's work. Putting a big, scary "plagiarism" heading anywhere on the bio page of a writer requires more substance.

Hedges is, in fact, a plagiarist. The New Republic piece spells out his many ethical lapses. This wiki article actually significantly downplays just how egregious his plagiarism was.
Later adding the relevant attributions does not get Hedges off the hook. He lifted entire passages and lied about being given permission to copy said language. Clydey2Times (talk) 09:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
