Talk:Jessica Seinfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I’m not sure why several anonymous IPs keep reverting improvements to this article and making it look like a blog rant. Pontification (i.e., “Jessica should have known better”) is NOT appropriate on Wikipedia. Stick with facts and quotes from legitimate sources. Also, balance is required. Jessica has denied knowledge of Lapine’s work and therefore a statement to that effect is appropriate - stop deleting it. Also, please learn to format section headings correctly. And stop using the word “plagiarism.” Plagiarism is when an author lifts entire passages from another’s work and uses it in her own work, without attribution. Seinfeld is not accused of this – her cookbook is merely very similar to Lapine’s, and she never claimed that she invented the concept of hiding vegetables in children’s food. Therefore, at worse, this is a case of copyright infringement. Even then, recipes are rarely protected by copyright, so there’s really no legal case here. And finally, please get your facts and dates straight, and stop deleting my corrections. CagedRage 18:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- There has been plenty of defense for Jessica Seinfled. But the article reads like an attack on her. This should be remedied and I've notified the BLP noticeboard. --Horoball 20:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
