Reply re circularity and plagiarism

Thanks for pointing me to the new discussions. But I probably won't engage there because IMO the issue at that particular article (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) is already covered by the current passage in WP:VERIFIABILITY stating that We should not source to material originating in WP, since it creates circularity. Verifiability is a core content policy and I don't suppose it changes much. With regard to whether the discovery at the PL-LT Comm article is a notable instance of plagiarism from WP by academics: since the cited website is a collection of papers written by students, and clearly published as such (, authors and tutors on page 10) - even tho the website was sponsored by an academic institution - I don't see it as notable occurence along those lines. Of course others may well disagree.
