      Might be an idea to remove the link to Tino's profile in case trigger happy members mark *him* as the abuser :laugh:

        I fully agree with you. Hence I am doing it

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            The plagiarist is: syed shanu - Professional Profile[^] and he is here long enough to perfectly know that this is not tolerated. @Sean-Ewington I think you should have a look over here, he might have forgotten the link or might not. At least I think a closer look is needed (eventually a wipe if your scrutiny is positive for him / a closer look to other articles).

                  With link I mean the reference to the original source / recognition to the other author.

                  I already said it: He is here long enough to know better. But still have "summoned" Sean, so a closer look can be done. It will be anyways needed, he is going to fight / ask for his account back.

                    Yes, but if (as it is in this case) the article mainly consists of things taken from someone else's site it's still plagiarism.

                            Why do you think this is plagiarized? The only versions of this I see are both by the same user (he posted on C-Sharp Corner and in Technet). He regularly posts versions of the same article in multiple locations.

                              I would hold on a mo Sean. Let's get it clarified that this article is plagiarized first - I'm not so sure it is.

                                The message where Tim explained his concerns in detail is gone with the article.. Anyways, the biggest discussion point was the rather large chunk of code he grabbed from here[^] He seemingly has grabbed a lot of the code to download from there, and that's just rewrapping an old gift.

                                    Nevermind - I managed to see where he's doing the repackaging. Very naughty.

                                      He added the link after Tino's message. But it still does not match the requirements:

                                      • Even with the link there is no indication what has been copied.
                                      • There may be a license discrepance (article is CPOL but the used source may have a different license). He should have asked the author.
                                      • The source code (downloads and browse) does not contain a reference.
                                      • Most of the article code is located in one file which is completely based on the source from Kelly's Chronicles.

                                        This thread has risen over anything that can be used to discuss. Are you now sure, or unsure?

                                          He added the link after Tino's message. But it still does not match the requirements:

                                          • Even with the link there is no indication what has been copied.
                                          • There may be a license discrepance (article is CPOL but the used source may have a different license). He should have asked the author.
                                          • The source code (downloads and browse) does not contain a reference.
                                          • Most of the article code is located in one file which is completely based on the source from Kelly's Chronicles.

                                          Thanks for the clarification works, Jochen!
