| Dec 15, 2011 at 8:51 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | I know, and as we discussed it afterwards, the issue wasn't straight plagiarism, but attributing a copyright violator. My point being, flagging just isn't always more than enough if the issue is as unusual as this. You are moderators, not copyright lawyers, and it's too easy for a flag to fall through the cracks. This topic would have been useful, if the OP were just able to tag in any appropriate way. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 8:44 | comment | added | studiohack Mod | @DanielBeck: yes, I dealt with that flag, it was a large copy/pasted block from Wikipedia, and not referenced properly, thus plagiarism, so deleted it. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 8:20 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Some moderator ignored a similar flag about Wikipedia attribution at first, marked it helpful and moved on. I needed to raise the issue in chat before it was acted on. Wasn't that even you? | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 0:21 | comment | added | slhck | While you have a point -- lots of Meta questions are focused to one post by one user -- you're making it sound like a personal thing, which is totally uncalled for @Evan | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 0:17 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | Half of the questions on meta are specific to single question on the site proper, or use them as an example. And, the title was broadened to include more than just this one question. This is clearly not a genuine reason to close -- I imagine you're just working for the system and trying to push this under the rug. | |
