Is it not a copyright violation to quote an article or text without referencing it?
The text of this article is almost word for word quoted from the csfinvestment.com site.
Wiki: "owning the rights to develop a franchise system within a geographical territory" csf: "owning of the rights to develop a franchise system within a territory"
Wiki: "The master franchisee assists the franchising company in developing the territory in exchange for a share in the royalty revenues and franchise fees that are generated from operations within that territory." csf: "The Master Franchisee assists the franchise company in developing the territory in exchange for a share in the royalty revenues and franchise fees that are generated from operations within that territory."
Wiki: "benefits from a proven track record, brand name, and a successful operating system" csf: "have a proven track record, brand name, and a successful operating system"
This is a clear copyright violation. I'm not the copyright holder, onwer of the site, or any kind of investor of that site, I just hate when people violate copyright. I'll contact the copyright owner to contact wikipedia directly. Until then, I'm going to keep reverting so that the article complies with copyright laws. 98.17.83.229 ( talk) 14:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I would seriously step away from this. Accusing me of plagiarism is a load, since I never put that crap in. I wrote the article using the Entrepreneur article. Another user added all the other stuff which I went checked on; I found the site to be a commercial link, I compared it to the original article I sourced the article from and removed the duplicate information, removed any other patently coi information and finally removed the link. Every time you undid my edits you restored the flawed version, causing all of these issues. Here is what I have done to resolve the issue, I removed all of the data from the site in question and restored it to the point just after I created the article, thus we will not have deal with the allegations anymore.
In response to your allegations and behaviors, which I warned you about on your talk page when this all began, I requested a sock puppet investigation about you and your relationship with Franchiseguru, the user who added the offending passages, shortly after this incident began. I did this because of the way you swooped in and began editing this very obscure article almost immediately after I edited the disputed information from site in question. Between the three accounts editing the page there is a disturbing relationship in the pattern of edits that point me to believe you are one in the same person. You knowledge of WP policies and formatting indicates to me that this is something you have done before and that these three single purpose accounts are being used to play the system to add information to WP that is self promotional in some manner. I will also be filing an ANI report because of the knowledge you display leads me to believe that you have done something like this in the past.
Accusing me of plagiarism and making comments that you are going to enforce the law on Wikipedia are personal attacks on me and violations of WP policies regarding legal threats respectively. I believed there was something hinky about this whole mess shortly after the edits began, and personally believe you are using these IP accounts as sock puppets to continue perpetrating the inclusion of information from the site in question. If you are not the same person, I would suggest you create a user account and edit from that to avoid these issues in the future. -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 17:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC), updated 00:36, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
