Hi Team
This problem is continuing and is fast approaching disaster proportions. Please see these comments
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:India_Education_Program#Queries_from_the_Wikipedia_community and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Ambassadors#Concerns_over_impact_on_article_quality
Please urgently do the following
a) Constantly repeat to every student that copy-pasting is not acceptable b) Monitor the work of your students - and make sure they edit in their sandboxes before they go live (and only go live after you ok it.) c) Please let's have the Campus & Online Ambassadors working closely with each other to do point (b) and to track, monitor and correct the work of your respective students.
In the next few days and weeks, the problem is going to explode unless we control it because many students' deadlines are approaching.
Please treat this matter with the highest urgency. The very future of our program is at stake.
Many thanks.
