Talk:Horace Smith-Dorrien

message: Large portions of this text are lifted entirely from the sources it references, and without quotation marks to indicate that the words of the article are not that of the person who "wrote" the article. This is badly in need of a re-write.
Well, perhaps you could tell us what they and suggest improvements. 92.19.244.6 (talk) 12:18, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A great deal of the text was added by me a few years ago, and I don't accept that that is a fair criticism. I'm perfectly aware of what plagiarism is - it means copying without attribution - but at the same time Wikipedia content is inevitably going to resemble the content from which it was derived, particularly if one is striving to render the content as accurately as possible. It is not possible to paraphrase every single word and phrase, nor is it necessary to "attribute" stuff with quotation marks unless the [source] writer is clearly guessing or editorialising.Paulturtle (talk) 02:13, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
