Claimed plagiarizing

Please provide the source of the text you say has been plagiarized before removing it again. You can simply edit this page to reply to me. Thanks. Equazcion (talk) 01:31, 9 Dec 2009 (UTC)

From a campus Lit Mag from Cornell University published about 2 years ago.

What's the name of the magazine, and which issue was it plagiarized from? Is the text available online? Equazcion (talk) 01:37, 9 Dec 2009 (UTC)

The Cornell Lunatic. And hopefully not because the student asked for it not to be published anywhere else except Teacher docs and the Lit Mag.

I've reported this suspected plagiarism here. Let's wait for further input. Thanks. Equazcion (talk) 01:55, 9 Dec 2009 (UTC)

For informational purposes only, I used the "spoilers" statement only because I did not want to accuse the editor of this page for plagiarizing to order to avoid conflict. I thought it would be a quick fix, but now that you are open about it, removing the edited portions was my true motive.

I'm not sure if you signed up just to make this one edit, but if you plan on editing Wikipedia more, for future reference: Being polite to the point of stating a false motive will do much more harm than good :) Thanks for explaining though. I'd also like to remind you that in discussions, it's common practice (and required) to sign your comments. Adding ~~~~ to the end of your comment will automatically stamp your username and the date.

My apologies. Yes, I only created this account to remove this one section.

Thank you for noting your concerns, but if the material you've removed is the material that was duplicated, then I'm afraid that odds are good that the campus magazine copied it from Wikipedia. This is the material removed. The sentence "House accurately deciphers people's motives and histories from aspects of their personality and appearance" began its life in August 2006, here. The sentence "His friend and colleague Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) says that while some doctors have the "Messiah complex"—they need to "save the world", House has the "Rubik's complex"—he needs to "solve the puzzle"" began its life in July 2006, here. Then "This skill is demonstrated in a scene where House diagnoses an entire waiting room full of patients in little over one minute on his way out of the hospital clinic" entered the article in January 2006. These were placed months apart by different contributors, more than three years ago. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
