Hi,

I’m one of the administrators and accredited reported on Wikinews.  We’ve just unearthed a problem with one of our stories being plagiarized from another source.  Unfortunately, you’ve mirrored it.

Your version is at http://www.ecanadanow.com/us/2007/04/18/candle-light-vigil-for-victims-of-virginia-tech-shootings/

Our version at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Candlelight_vigil_for_victims_of_Virginia_Tech_shootings will be deleted.

And for comparison, http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=6385852 the original.

Regrettably, this is one of the risks when allowing editing by anyone.  The contributor responsible is new, and the problems he has caused will be explained to him.  My apologies we didn’t catch this before you copied our story, we appreciate having mirrors that expose our material in Google News.

Regards,

Brian McNeil
