I've received communications from both parties in this case, and I'd like to hear it in a bit more open of a forum, as I think the question of plagiarism should be discussed in such a way as to form a more uniform policy. There is very little documentation on the wiki about this case (which is poor form, in my opinion), and it's really hard for me to figure out what is going on without a thorough view of editing histories - I'll have time to do that in a couple days, but not now. Therefore, I'm opening this page for such a discussion. I'm not really concerned about formatting here, to be honest; just trying to figure out what's going on. --User:Goobergunch|? 07:59, 8 March 2007 (GMT)

Statements and comments

I'd like to start off by thanking Goobergunch for allowing me to voice my concerns on the wiki itself, rather than having to make a big deal out of it elsewhere. Now, I will be more than willing to admit that I have made errors - who hasn't? All I want to protest is the fact that I was banned for an event that was never clearly defined, and I was banned for a rather trival offence. I apologise sincerely, once more, for circumnavigating the ban. I feel that Pacitalia, if he were to have blocked me, ought to have provided more warning. When I was blocked, I had no prior warning, and after talking to Pacitalia, I was even more confused. Had he just provided a simple example of this, I would have changed it forthwith and apologised. I humbly request that the ban be lifted. -- Eurasia 205.221.1.69 17:26, 8 March 2007 (GMT)

Evidence

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please choose an appropriate header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

It is extremely important in order that your submitted evidence be considered by the Administrators that when you cite evidence to provide a link to the exact edit which displays the transaction, links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Rezo to the article Der Angst expanding the Education section use this form: [http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php?title=Der_Angst&curid=1012&diff=0&oldid=8642] [1].

This section is not for general discussion - for that, see the comments.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Please do this under a seperate header, to seperate your response from the original evidence.

Be aware that the Administrator may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Administrator do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please voice your objections on the comments page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others.

Evidence by Pacitalia

Evidence by Eurasia

My first piece of evidence stating that Pacitalia is applying a double standard in his block, thus making it unjust and violating Article XX of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Compare this to the PBC's core values.

If Pacitalia can get away with plagiarism, why should I be blocked, even if you assume that I did plagiarise?
