OS/Plagiarism

[Pubey]

It's a shame to see the OS copying chunks of information and text from another (fantastic) site with no reference or acknowledgement.

Seems pretty poor form, even if they have permission they could do a simple cross reference or link.

At least if they copy it from somewhere else it will be better quality than if they do it themselves !!!

no reason he shouldn't acknowledge where he's lifted his copy from !

Have to agree with Pubey on this one, a simple Harvard style reference would suffice and could, if no permission has been sought save a lot of grief in the long run.

That's fine but anyone who has done GCSEs or above knows that you can't pass of someone else's work as your own - especially someone employed in media.

I don't think it's a big deal but I don't think it should really be happening, irrespective of our resources.

That makes it even worse!

 

[RobM]

Why? Has he trained his replacement on that aspect yet?

clearly not. if you're training someone then leading by example is extremely important. if it was a new person with little experience then I'd have more sympathy.

Does someone working in the media need training up or is the newbie new to the game?

Tell you what Pubey, instead of moaning about it here, why don't you send Tom an email?

Christ! If it's not the football some people are moaning about it's just GOT to be something else. Instead of coming on here decrying the slip up by the SUFC media department why didn't you just email them directly, point it out to them/him and await the correction. What's the soddin point of putting it on here exactly? Ray's of ****** sunshine you lot are :dim:

I don't know who Tom is or what his email details are.

Wouldnt really make much difference if he wrote it himself. It would contain the same information.

Tom came into the club and made a massive difference in bring us the fans information. He is by far better then Dave who only every seemed interested in himself.

Just hope the new lad (who I beleive is Toms mate) continues the good work that Tom has started in fan engagement.
