Sections removed[edit]

I removed a paragraph that, for the most part, duplicates text written By Wegmann himself. Substantial portions of it are his phrases or sentences, verbatim, mixed in with some alterations that apparently you, Marcel, made in his text. (which can be seen by a grammar error that you introduced to one of his phrases). If the whole section were a direct quotation, the appearance of plagiarism (which applies to the wording, regardless of your citing the source of the info) could be avoided by enclosing the quotation in quotation marks; that's not doable unless you untangle his words from yours. Even if you did, summarizing his views rather than simply copying them in here would be preferable, surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bacrito (talk • contribs) 06:53, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another one: This paragraph -- They base their research on system science and on discipline-specific theories such as strategic thinking, marketing, requirements engineering and software engineering, such as formal methods and model-driven engineering. System science provides general purpose theories applicable to all systems such as business and IT, and it complements the use of the discipline-specific theories.^[1] you took verbatim from the site you cited in the footnote, only changing "We base our research..." to "They base their research..."

Please don't just revert these edits.Bacrito (talk) 07:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will take a closer look later. But I do think every possible copyright problem can be solved because we can always ask Alain Wegmann to release that particular text. -- 09:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Go right ahead and ask him anything you like; in the meantime, I'm putting a notability tag on here, because I just realized how thin your references are here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bacrito (talk • contribs) 04:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
