Talk:Sequence (filmmaking)

Plagiarism

Almost all of this article is cut and pasted from a Web page without attribution and with very little change: See http://4mr.bobby.googlepages.com/filmsequence —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joachim57 (talk • contribs) 16:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Filmmaking vs. Screenwriting vs. Editing

In addition to being plagiarized, this article also focused solely on the "sequence outline" method of screenwriting. The term sequence is also used in film editing to refer to a sequence of shots. So the title is either inaccurate (it should refer only to screenwriting, not filmmaking) or the article is woefully incomplete Justin Bacon (talk) 14:39, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Plagiarism Rebuttal

I actually believe that it was http://4mr.bobby.googlepages.com/filmsequence that copy and pasted from Wikipedia with minor edits.

This page has actually been edited very little from 2007, while the copyright claim in question only goes as far back as 2009. The edits that make these two pages more or less identical are subjective grammatical semantics. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sequence_(filmmaking)&oldid=119750924

It could be claimed that the 2007 Wikipedia page MAY be plagiarized from a book and maybe these two sources have both plagiarized from the same source. However, based solely on dates and general consensus of Wikipedia being "public domain", unless someone can produce a source before 2 April 2007, I must contend and hold the firm stance that http://4mr.bobby.googlepages.com/filmsequence plagiarized from Wikipedia.

Filmmaking vs. Screenwriting vs. Editing Rebuttal

As to the article being "inaccurate" or "incomplete", Wikipedia is a public editing platform. If you have knowledge that will improve the page, you are free to add to the page and make it better rather than pretentiously claim inaccuracies alongside copyright infringement.
