Talk:Pelagibacter ubique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article references a BBC news website article by Roland Pease. However, many of the words are copied verbatim from the BBC article. At work, if I read this as part of a students work, I would call them in to discuss plagiarism: are there copyright issues using text taken from BBC web pages?

I just deleted the affected section (subsequent editors had altered it a bit, but it was still recognizable). For anyone in a similar situation in the future, please delete the plagiarized text immediately (or follow the procedures at WP:CP if it's the whole article) rather than mentioning it on a talk page where no one will see it for a year.
