::::{{u|EJustice}}, I'm now currently going through all of your students pages to see if we have copyright violations. Aylapeters added a blatant copy and paste violation at [[Open Space Accessibility in California]] on April 12. It was cited, but in my estimation was well within what many universities would consider unintentional plagiarism since there were no quotations marks and it was presented as the student's own words with only a footnote. There are also some direct quoting in other articles that are from federal government sources that don't make for engaging writing, but aren't copyright violations since they are in the public domain. I'm going to do the best that I can to get through the projects tonight, but I did want to leave a note here for Diannaa so she was aware if I don't get through them since she is somewhat of our local copyright expert.

:::::I've finished my search. I didn't find any other copyright violations, the only similar example of what would be unintentional plagiarism academic paper but is not a copyright violation is this edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Environmental_impacts_of_animal_husbandry_in_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=774671354]. Direct quote from the FDA website so its public domain. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni|talk]]) 02:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

::::::Thanks! All the students' submissions are also automatically checked for plagiarism with the online system we use at Berkeley. They typically know that by the time they get here and certainly by the time they're juniors. So we'll catch that. --[[User:EJustice|EJustice]] ([[User talk:EJustice|talk]]) 03:17, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
