I find it interesting that this page says that it is "protected by COPYSCAPE do not copy" (plagiarism will be detected by copyscape)
It also says it was "Written by Anastasia on June 17th, 2009".
And yet... Much of the copy on Kowloon Walled City was lifted from Wikipedia. For example this passage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
The streets were illuminated by fluorescent lights, as sunlight rarely reached the lower levels. There were only two rules for construction: electricity had to be provided to avoid fire, and the buildings could be no more than fourteen stories high, because of the nearby airport. Eight municipal pipes provided water to the entire structure (although more could have come from wells).

- brandnewlow 17y agoIt's blog spam. Created expressly for Reddit, because that stuff always gets voted up there.
- norova 17y agoAh, I see.
- po 17y agoThat's true; I missed it on the last page... and at least the photos are credited well. I wish my teachers in school would have let me say something was written by me but "prepared using the Encyclopedia Britannica" when it's a total cut and paste job.
