Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Started conversation Jun 1, 2001
Hi Jimi,
How can you tell if an entry has been copied from elsewhere?
I just read this and it reads like it's straight from an encyclopaedia.

Please tell me how to check these things.
Thanks,
AGB. 
Your advice please..

One of the easiest ways is to copy an oddly worded sentence into an Internet search engine like google and put quotes around the text. The search engine will only look for exact matches of that text and if it appears elsewhere, it's a copy. 
Anna had some other method, but I've forgotten it. Too much 
I reckon. 
Have a great weekend!
