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
