Talk:Ken Yeang

message: i've got a book here that says "since the area near seto city slated for the 2008 world's fair is forested, ken yeang has proposed to put the entire exhibition into a 150-story, 600 m high skyscraper." the text is in the book "building a new millennium" (see article). is this notable enough to be in the list? --Ysangkok (talk) 20:04, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I had a hunch that a good deal of this article is plagiarized, and I can say that at least some of it has come from here: http://www.merdekaaward.com/Default.aspx?lang=en-US
I more-or-less randomly selected a line, and did a search for "Yeang recognized 40 years ago that environmental devastation, global warming and increasing contamination of the environment would adversely affect the planet's natural balance, biodiversity of ecosystems and biospheric processes" and it showed up there pretty much word-for-word, I believe.
Does anyone know of an efficient way to check for plagiarized material in a text?Zujua (talk) 11:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to bear in mind that many websites copy their text from Wikipedia. It becomes increasingly difficult to know which came first! Sionk (talk) 15:28, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: Recent anonymous edits have increased the clean-up problem, rather than improved it! A request for inline citations has been extant since 2008, but (an editor or) editors are continually adding unsourced quotes, unsourced grand claims and some extra puffery. Some of the unsourced sections are now so lengthy they are becoming essay-like, IMO. I've added an 'essay' tag. Ken Yeang is a well-known architect, so it should be relatively easy to write a useful, concise, well-sourced article. Sionk (talk) 15:28, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the article has been written by multiple IPs apparently without knowledge of Wikipedia guidelines and MOS. It needs massive cleanup. --ELEKHHT 22:54, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
