• Another plagarist

  I’m currently trying to lose the 10 kilos I’ve piled on since my Uni days, so it’s hitting the gym plus reading up on diets, weight management & physical fitness.

  Today I saw this post on ping which says “5 Tips for Losing Weight”. And reading the post and then the rest of the blog made me suspect that it could be a plagarist at work. So I picked out text to google. And true enough. I found proof (this time with screencaps) that she plagarised. And whoever she is, tried to be smart. She made some changes to the text so it was not 100% the same as the original, so some people might think it’s just a coincidence. However, she can’t change the language ability of the original poster, so it varies with the rest of the blog. 

  Red is the exact same ERROR that the original poster made, which the plagarist didn’t correct.

  Blue is the parts she changed.

   Original article

   Her article

  To show that she didn’t put the link of the original post.

  She says she’s getting married in December and would like to “share whatever I know in my blogs”. So that’s fine if she’d credit the source, even if she didn’t write the articles herself. BUT, she didn’t just copy, she purposefully made changes to the copy. That’s got to be infringement of some kind of copyright law. Or creative commons license. Or something. 

  There’s no way of contacting her to tell her how *ahem* unhappy I am so I’m calling her out on my blog. 

  If anyone who knows this person & sees this post, please inform her that what she’s doing is wrong. Thanks.
