For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

Daniel Brandt, a longtime critic of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, says his analysis shows the site is rife with plagiarism.

Brandt said he found 142 instances of Wikipedia copy lifted from other sources after studying the site with a software program that picks up matches with other material anywhere on the Google search engine.

...

The site's administrators said they have reviewed the instances of plagiarism, many of them in biographical entries, and removed some as a result of Brandt's complaints.

Others contain material already in the public domain and will remain as is, they said.

So besides having problems with people posting malware through the site, now they have problems with plagiarism. Things are looking less good for them all the time.
