Talk:Zivan Margolin

Per most definitions of plagiarism (a resource I often use is this one) this falls in that category. The phrase "latent powers that may be worth grooming as future allies of the assembly, dangers to be monitored, or prospective minds for Ikithon to conscribe into the Volstrucker" is a direct quote from published and copyrighted material that is not presented within quotation marks. Attribution via citation without quotation marks is not acceptable for direct quotes. In most contexts, close paraphrasing can also be construed as inacceptable as discussed in that link.

The wiki position on plagiarism is that it is not permitted (Help:Rules and Blocking Policy). I am concerned that my reports of plagiarism are being removed, and about the potential legal ramifications of having this material. As mentioned on the talk page for the Blooming Grove, I'm happy to get an official legal opinion to ensure we're in the clear. Untropicalisland (talk) 14:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
