Doubt about worksheet ´s sources
 
Please members,
 I really would like your opinion about this. If you create a worksheet about famous person it �s wrong if you use information from the net? Aren �t they public? Specially if you write the fonts.I �m not talking about copy because in my opinion you can find them anywhere (tv,radio,computer, books and magazines),as public information.
I �m asking because sometimes I think that moderators could be more flexible!
If you agree or not with me, I wait for your opinion.
 
Thanks you all!

Hi Maria!

I do agree with you, my dear!

Not just in your case (famous people), but images resources too. 

Comics, for example. If you write the fonts, isn �t a "true" copy, is it?

Thank you for this topic. I wish that moderators could be more

flexible too!

Hugs!

i dont quite understand what you �re saying. you are allow to use information from the net IF:
 they are not from an esl site or book
make your own exercises
 
if you send and decorate paper with info about someone and do not add exercises, then that is a copy and it will be remove.
 
herley, we dont make the rules, we just help to keep this site clean, if anyone ever think that his/her ws was remove having following all the rules, then they can always go to victor and present him the problem. he is the owner and the one who can have the final decision.

Comics are generally copyright material, so they wouldn �t be allowed, even if you "rewrite" the text in a different font.
