Talk:The Times (Shreveport, Louisiana)

Milestone Section is 100% Plagiarized
The Milestone Section is a straight verbatim copy (plagiarism) from the Gannett website at the URL below http://www.gannett.com/about/map/ataglance/shrevep.htm... Anyone who wants to augment it with additional information would be helping this article immensely. I imagine as that section is a direct copy of Gannett's "Milestone" section, that the rest of this article may in fact be entirely plagiarized as well... In fact, the formats of "Description" and "Community Interaction" are not traditional Wikipedia formats and are strikingly implicative of being copied verbatim from another source... But I have not reviewed the History listing yet to see who and what was done... Stevenmitchell (talk) 14:52, 14 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Does Wikipedia have a format for marking Sections as Plagiarized without marking the whole article? Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:45, 14 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, simply place a  tag at the end of the copied text, and of course copyvio on top. MLauba (Talk) 08:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
