    Plagiarist (again). I can’t believe you were too lazy to not remove the now-irrelevant footnote numbers. Or maybe I can.

    Apparently you are not aware of the rules at Wikipedia.

    As for me being sloppy, me culpa.

    Oh, now you are willing to attribute your plagiarism to Wikipedia… you didn’t originally.

    From Wikipedia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism
    Plagiarism is the “wrongful appropriation” and “purloining and publication” of another author’s “language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions,” and the representation of them as one’s own original work….
    Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty

    No.

    I used text from Wikipedia. If you think I know everything I write about without reading, you have an awesomely high opinion of my omniscience. As for the use of words that are in the public domain, I am not sure where that edges over into plagiarism. I do usually give sources. How do you justify impersonating a celeb?
