Talk:List of Commander in Chief episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

can someone tell me why in the episode "no nukes is good nukes", does the TV footage of DMZ troops include a flag of both south korea and what seems like the IRAQI (?!) flag?

[edit] Apparent plagiarism

Compare the summary on ABC.com about "State of the Unions" to the one in the article:

ABC.com: "While Mac prepares to deliver her first State of the Union Address, Rod, out solo at a reception, winds up in a compromising position with an intern… while the cameras flash. An incriminating photo ends up on the cover of the papers the next day, humiliating Mac and threatening to overshadow her State of the Union. Meanwhile, Templeton sets out to sabotage Mac's Homeless Initiative Bill, forcing her to play political hardball in return."

The article: "While out solo at a reception as Mac works on her upcoming State of the Union Address, Rod seemingly has too much to drink and winds up in a compromising position with an intern and with cameras flashing. An incriminating photo ends up on the cover of the papers the next day, humiliating an incredulous Mac and threatening to publicly and politically damage her image. Meanwhile, Templeton sets out to sabotage Mac's Homeless Initiative Bill, forcing her to play political hardball in return. And Dickie and Jayne - who is now back as Templeton's chief of staff - go to dinner in an effort to pick the other adversary's brain, and end up spending the night together."

I think there needs to be a serious rewrite of this summary (and possibly others). 24.245.44.227 00:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

If you list where it came from, then its not considered plagiarism. Such as the source of the summary. Sfufan2005 00:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it is considered plagiarism. You cannot take a slab of text from one site and whack it up on another without permission, unless it is freely licensed, which is not the case here. If this is not cleaned up, I'll nominate the article for deletion on these grounds. Rebecca 08:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, then someone needs to put ABC.com as a source in the article. Listing it as original research or writing and not explicity listing the source is still plagiarism in my book. 24.245.44.227 00:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Whoops, I just saw the changes in the history. Never mind and thanks for listening, Sfufan2005! 24.245.44.227 00:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I have reworded the suspected synopses and ensure that this page no longer contains any more plagiarized synopses. I hope that it is satisfactory. Sfufan2005 17:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SK/Iraqi flag question

I noticed that too. South Korea has a troop contingent deployed as part of the coaltion forces in Iraq. That could be the explanation, that the footage was taken of a joint SK/ISF base. In that case, it is a mistake by the makers of the show, accidently using footage of SK forces in Iraq rather than footage of SK forces in Korea.
