More QL Story Theft?

Wear wisely!

Peace

drsam - Those people interviewed are nothing to do with QL

Yes, someone can take something you wrote and use it, and say that you said it.

My favourite faded Levis jeans and T shirt won't offend anyone right

the people "interviewed" were they the same with the same quotations as those in the thread?

if yes, is it allowed to post one comment without permission?

my question is: if i wrote something on QL can someone use it and say sam said this and that in another place?

If something is lifted directly without attribution, it would be considered plagiarism.

If someone took an idea, did some work on it and the wrote a story, I don't see harm. Of course, the respectable thing to do would be to cite where the idea came from.

was posted at many places. But before that I had received messages from people asking for permission. The story was Strange Light over Doha yesterday ;0

Life is Beautiful...Indeed!

You may think that is drastic..but while I was in Alaska the license plate at the time had a grizzly bear standing up facing forward...some women started to place little circular stickers over the crotch of the bear because they found it indecent.

They discontinued the plate the in 1981.

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite

or something like this?

can a journalist take threads from a source and post it without

1- permission

2- mentioning the source

2- taking the approval of the persons cited?

so next, i will have my comment in QL posted in a magazine (or rather, a tabloid in this cae) without my permission?

shorts r not allowed? come on!

if half pants not allowed in the desert, where r they?

LOL what are half pants?

If this issue/concern still continue, I'll not be surprised if the Ministry will impose "abayas" later on...

The Peninsula editor you guys are referring to was 'removed' a fair while ago.

i believe peninsula editor also holding account on QL ... like any other Qatar residents.

Perhaps its time the Peninula editor responded :)

MissX, they did that few times in the pass. Once they quoted on of our QLer post ( i think his name is Marty Harding Lover or something like that) about house rent.

Hang on, are you saying that the newspaper took comments that people had made on QL and published them? And used the descriptions of their nationalities from the user profiles? Or am I completely off?

You've read Saudi Gazzette and Peninsula ....

I'll leave you to make your own judgement...

Or a very long siesta? LOL

I have been researching the internet about a good school to put my kids to in Doha (will be moving to Qatar in Sept) and I came across Doha Montessori and British School and International School of London in Qatar. I would appreciate guys if you would be able to give me some honest opinion/information for both schools. Cheers...

I'm working to a very tight timescale on my project. Maybe I should just take Dubal's plant and move it to the Qatalum site.

The means does not justify the ends.

Now I understand why the Gulf Times English is so miserable some times. Ha, ha, ha.

In Saudi, I noticed an article in the Arab News regarding cars, which had been copied straight from a Car magazine I had read a few months previous..

I wrote to the editor complaining. His reply - sometimes the journalists are working to very short time scales and may "use" stories to fill the pages..

This episode shows that perhaps the writer has used the QL forum to pick his topics. More importantly, it shows the quality of the journalists in Qatar and perhaps The Gulf in general..

How about "Qatar Sacastic Society". There going to be lots of words shooting here and there

Besides brit of course...

You can't teach experience...

Qatar Living News Agency?

The point being that "journalists" here in Qatar have no mind of their own and seem to trawl QL looking for their next thing to write about!

It's about brit getting a sticker!

You can't teach experience...

The story of the Filipino advisory notice was in the papers yesterday or the day before. This is a follow up I guess, perhaps inspired by the QL thread.

Then you'll be the first who gets "stickmatized", brit. (Thong and so on.)

Hrrrrrrrmph ...............Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrmphh..

Let QL take the lead in this campaign..I suggest creating small adhesive stickers with the simple message "I Must Dress Sensibly".

QLVG can then take these sticker and place them on teh persons of individuals not adhereing to the expected dress code..

yeah they fill a 6 by 8" coloum sitting in the office.

Aana free, jaana free,

Pakde gaye tho khana free.

Whats with that mate live ur own life..
