Talk:Complementary and Alternative Medicine

From Wiki4CAM

This article is trying to user the Cite extension. This is an extremely important extension that should be installed on every wiki. I recommend you do so right away. I have on my user page a list of other recommended extensions for any wiki. But the cite one is pretty much required. Tmtoulouse 00:30, 14 August 2008 (CDT)

Is plagiarism allowed?

The section Contemporary use of alternative medicine is a very bad cut and paste from the wikipedia article here The "author" didn't even bother to cut out the images from the text. Personally I think the plagiarism should be removed. (I suspect that more of this article has been plagiarized from the same source.) --Bob M 16:26, 19 August 2008 (CDT)

Since both sites use the GFDL, I don't think it's "plagiarism". Such copying without regard for how the result comes out is, however, very low-quality editing. The images should have been brought over, and the copious red links should be reduced to ones that may become articles here. Human ^talk 21:34, 19 August 2008 (CDT)

No plagiarism is not allowed. We did include some definitions from wikipedia to give a starting point to the Cam community. and as Human has pointed out, the content is still under GFDL. We have not copied any material from any copyright protected content and whatever definitions have been used from other sources, will be enhanced and modified over time by the CAM community. This particular article does need extensive editing and formatting. Due to the lack of editors, we were unable to do that initially. We hope, with people like you here, such issues will be taken care of very soon. Thank you. CAMwikiAdmin 00:18, 20 August 2008 (CDT)
