Yup. NOR and CITE cover the plagiarism issue.
Well, I beg to differ. As I pointed out in another email, adding plagiarised content to Wikipedia can be understood as taking written material someone owns & releases it under the GFDL or Creative Commons without first consulting the author or owner.
Perhaps you are going in directions I'm not. Plagiarism is the unattributed use of material. If we cite our sources, then obviously re-using material is not plagiarism. It might be intellectual theft, but it's not plagiarism if it's atrributed.
Perhaps you are talking about copyright issues, and there are others here better fitter to talk about copyright than I.
That whole King James Bible issue was way outside my comfort zone!
