| - Plagiarism is the act of simply copying someone else's work and uploading it to The Evil Dead Wiki as though it were your own. The nature of Wikia sites such as EDW, and the way in which anyone is able to access and edit them, unfortunately makes the act of plagiarism very easy to carry out. Plagiarism is looked down upon for several reasons:
* First and foremost, it is very disrespectful to the original author. They may have put considerable time and effort into researching, writing and structuring the original piece of work, and to have someone else simply copy that work and post it elsewhere as though it was something they created themselves serves to discredit the original creator.
* Secondly, it makes the wiki seem unprofessional, full of editors who would rather copy someone else's work than create something new themselves. Essentially, plagiarism is comparable to stealing, in that it involves the theft of someone else's intellectual property and re-purposing it for your own ends.
