Content literally lifted without attribution on a link farm site: http://www.fraudwatchernetwork.com/website/internet-fraud.html JavaWoman 04:52, 2 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

  • I am sick and tired of users like JavaWoman. The linkfarm or whatever COPIED from this article. I am sure of this because I WROTE THIS FROM SCRATCH. I used some knowledge that no linkfarm could have known about. Why do you assume that Wikipedians copy from others and not the other way around? Or maybe is it that JavaWoman has some economic incentive on putting links on Wikipedia to some Adsense generating sites???--AAAAA 02:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
  • AAAAA, I honestly have no idea what you are referring to. I do not have, or use, any "link farm" sites. (I do have web sites, but always respect copyright very carefully, and certainly do not copy without attribution.) In fact, I reported a copyright violation on a link farm site and signed that report with my username here (note that it says "on", not "from"); it may well be that the content was originally yours, but the link farm site is not mine, nor did I not suggest that anyone copied from there.
    So, rather than being "sick and tired" of users "like" me, you should thank me for spotting the theft in the first place. (This particular link farm site is one of a large network of similar sites, all using the same framework, and all using material lifted from Wikipedia, all without attribution.)
