A post which appears to be lost is the reply Rania made to my query as to why she was quoting "Wiki".
Her reply- a desire to be accurate and "No biggie? "I assume she thinks it's not important to quote your source of imformation.
Now I have no idea of the laws in other countries regarding "lifting info" without acknowledgement.
I also consider it to be a courtesy to state that "this is..." someone else's work.
And...Wikki...accurate..maybe..maybe not?
So can I have others thoughts on the subject.
Shouldn't we always acknowledge when we lift directly from another website?
Should we do it at all?
There's an awful lot of "I heard that....." and other evidence-lacking statements.
No one is denying the right to anyone to express an opinion. It doesn't always have to be "Hard" facts all the time but isn't it better to have evidence and to to say from whence it came?
