Plagiarism Help?

(1/6) > >>

Dennis Vogel:
In the past few days I have notified two persons that they should either give Ray or BT credit for the Tithing article or remove the article from their sites. They both removed the articles (one of them made it look like it was his article).

There a dozens of others plagiarising Ray's work and putting their own name on his work. Some simply do not give Ray or BT credit. While most give credit to Ray.

Would some of you like to help me find the sites that do not give proper credit or put their name on Ray's work?

I don't want anyone contacting them. I think it would be better if I (the webmaster) contacted them.

Simply find those who are borrowing Ray's material and post the link and (important) contact information in this thread.

If you cannot find any contact information, post the link anyway and I'll try and find it on whois.org.

Ignore posts on other forums as I do not consider them plagiarism.

Here's how to search:

Go to one of Ray's articles on bible-truths.com and find some text written by Ray. Do use text that mentions BT or Ray as some of these people remove those references.

Example from the tithing paper: "that of all the things that God will first give to Jacob"

Copy text from a BT article and go to Google.com and search for the text.

Important: Surround the text with quotes as shown above.

Google will most likely show only the BT Article.

But look for this text below Google's link to BT and click on "repeat the search with the omitted results included."


--- Quote ---In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 1 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included[/u].
--- End quote ---

This will show all the other links.

Then start going through them one at a time.

Pick an article and let us know.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

What about blogs?  Like this one on blogspot:

This was just put up this month...

I know it's hard. Go ahead and ask him to give credit to Ray and BT.

In some cases you will need to join a forum just to contact the (false?) author.

The problem is some were saying Ray did not author the tithing article because they found it posted on another site.

We very much want these messages preached and the message is more important than anything, but when these sites make others question who wrote it, it harms everyone and takes away from the message.

Try to make sure you do not come across harsh when dealing with these people. For some it's just an oversite.

Dennis,
  In the past I have come across some "very familiar"  ::) writings. 

Thanks, now I know what to do when I find them :)
