http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Plagiarism Closely related is the concept of close paraphrasing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing >From July 2005 to June 2008, Wikipedia:Plagiarism was a redirect (the destination has varied). Since June 2008, is has been a proposed guideline, with people either of the opinion that it is not needed at all because the relevant stuff is covered elsewhere (with at least one attempt to turn the page back into a redirect), or people agreeing that something separate is needed to address the complexities of such matters.
