Plagiarism

edit

We seem to have a case where The Doctors Lounge Artificial Pacemaker article has been copied/edited from the WP article Artificial pacemaker on multiple occasions. See Talk:Artificial pacemaker for details. That site does not appear to acknowledge WP as a source. linas 04:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

New articles by new users

edit
(although the article correctly mentioned that new contributors must wait several days before being able to create new articles).

I think this is wrong. New user accounts do not have to wait several days before being able to create new articles. A new user can create a new article right away. You may be thinking of semi-protection where a user can't edit a semi-protected page unless their account is several days old. --Pmsyyz 06:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
