Unfounded accusations of plaigarism[edit]

Unfounded accusations of plaigarism are a serious matter. Before you make (repeated) accusations of plagiarism, as you have here, you should check the copyright status and permissions that apply to the article you claim is being plagiarised. — Epipelagic (talk) 20:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article still says "In most cases, you may not copy text from other sources into Wikipedia. Doing so is a copyright violation. Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article." These accusations also were founded, because in the link to my accusation of plagiarism, I linked the source that was plagiarized from (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6820529).

It also isn't allowed to make small changes to the original work. "Superficial change of copyright-protected text is not enough. Wikipedia articles must be written in the author's own words. If the way in which a source has said something is important, please employ quotation."

There are still no quotes used, so it is plagiarism. Yubbo (talk) 21:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are merely quoting from an informal explanatory essay, not a Wikipedia guideline or policy. At least read the rest of the essay before cherry-picking quotes you think support your case. If you look further down the same essay, you will find a section called: Can I copy from open license or public domain sources?. That is the section that applies here. If you want a better grasp of the issues, read the relevant Wikipedia guidelines and policies, and don't cherry pick from essays. Further, you are linking to a copy of the article which is on the website of the National Library of Medicine (USA). The original article in question was published by Nature. — Epipelagic (talk) 23:54, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
