ED

KYM

So… SOMEBODY copied SOMEONE else. Word for word. The only difference is, someone switched up the placement of the second and third paragraphs.

The question is, who?

Who had this first, us or them. If they had it first, we are plagiarizing and whoever did so needs to stop. And if we had it first then they are plagiarizing.

Try comparing the history on both pages?

Great idea.

Both sites have edit histories.

Down with plagiarism :(

I think Alskdjfhg is the culprit.

Good work, Mellow.

Well for future reference, if ED's site says things kindly its most likely rip off of KYM.

I really don't see this as a problem. If a block of text is written seriously, factually, without bias, and NOT in a humorous tone, ED mods would most likely rewrite it in order to improve it. If someone writes something for KYM and submits it to ED, it won't read like ED. I think this is the kind of thing that can work its self out.
