h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Greetings Webwitch,

I am Michael Rock, the author of the "concise overview" of Haitian Vodou residing at Witchvox.com that is linked at the bottom of your article on Haitian Vodou on this site.

I thank you for using me as a resource in writing this article at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A1019666 , however there is one concern I have. There are paragraphs and phrases in your article that are clearly paraphrases of my own work, or that clearly used my writing as a source, and these paraphrases are not footnoted to cite me, Michael Rock, as the source of these statements. Again I am gratified that you found my writing helpful to your research, please follow through with the ethically appropriate action and give me appropriate credit where it is due in your article. I suspect that other authors and websites were also used in researching this article, and I encourage that you footnote and cite them as well. They deserve credit as much as I do. Writing as you are aware is work. I ask nothing in return for the article posted on Witchvox except that I be given appropriate credit.

That said, this is a well written article, and I enjoyed reading it immensely.

Thank you for correcting this little oversight..

blessings

Michael Rock
