In Response To: Re: Just a Warning ()

Here is a tip for any educators or concerned parents out there who may be worried their child is simply copying what they find posted on the WWW. Simply take a few sentences or a paragraph at random, place it/them inside quotation marks and enter it as a search term at Google or other search engine. Any attempts at plagiarism will show up.

We have found several instances of folks copying research notes without permission off our 7th Mississippi website using this method. Find-A-Grave has a page that not only featured our text, word for word, on Col. B.F. Johns but included an image of the Colonel I did from an original provided by Virgil Roberts as well as a photo of his grave I took myself in Gloster, MS.

Parents, webmasters and even authors may also be interested in this page...
