Plagiarized
editThis page seems to have been plagiarized from the sci.lang.japan FAQ. --Sljfaq2 (talk) 12:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
- Could you be more specific, with links if possible? Wikipedia does not tolerate plagiarism. —Tokek (talk) 00:57, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
The first revision of the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yamato_nadeshiko&oldid=216638289 contains a large, unattributed chunk from http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/yamatonadeshiko.html. This has been edited somewhat, perhaps because somebody noticed it was copied.
Anyway, Wikipedians copying an article and then rewriting it is nothing new. See the Wikipedia article on the Japanese address system for another example of something copied from the sci.lang.japan FAQ.

- Apparently, the original edit that added the chunk to Wikipedia also provided a link to the sci.lang.japan article [1]. Since it's paraphrased, and not directly copy-and-pasted, it's not immediately clear (to me at least) if this is a problem. At least, good faith can be assumed. Personally, I'm curious about the WWII reference and wondering if there was any further reading available, or if it was just content copy-n-pasted around the Internet without any substantial source behind it. For example, here's another article mentioning "yamato nadeshiko" on the Internet with a WWII reference: [2]. —Tokek (talk) 11:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- No, the original edit of the page contains a large chunk of material copied from the sci.lang.japan FAQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yamato_nadeshiko&oldid=165565939 This is exactly the contents at that time. --Joker Poker Wild (talk) 03:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

editHonestly, that one online reference you put down here is completely useless ... its just a thread where a bunch of people share their ideas on what they believe Yamato Nadeshiko is, what they´ve heard about it or what Google told them ... thats no valid reference! I guess theres no point asking for decent reference, since the article failed to improve since quite a while ... Im just telling people who read this not to take the one reference seriously! Its just some gibberish posted somewhere by people who didn´t know themselves. LagondaDK (talk) 21:31, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
