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.
