@MJ- misa always talking about original things,,, everything was already made ... I �ve seen thousands of wss about GUESS THE ANIMAL, DOMINOES, JOBS ETC (so that �s not original)
....but if you say that the meaning of ORIGINAL is something completely new and not copied or derived from something else you are wrong again!!!!your pictures are taken from the web not made for YOU...
PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT ORIGINALITY!!!!

It seems to me that there a 2 kinds of teachers on this forum
1. The ones who work hard, make great constributions/worksheets and that have no time to for nonsense
and
2. The ones with too much time on their hands and low selfesteems, they need to go look through old constributions to find something wrong, report it and then feel much better about themselves.

Caela, I find your post most aggressive and insulting and showing disrespect for the dozens of people who try to keep this site relatively clean and fair.
Shame on you.
NanaLins, just trust the moderators, they do their job very conscienciously.

And which kind of teacher might you be Caela?
I seem to fall into both fields as I am wont to report worksheets from time to time. I can �t say that it gives me much of a thrill though. As to making great contributions, well that is not for me to decide but for my peers to do so, but I certainly work hard. I teach young children so I �m always prepared for a little nonsense.

I didn �t mean to cause any problem on the forum.
I just want to know the problems of my worksheets, so that I won �t waste my time adapting the worksheets I use in my class to be uploaded here.
They are good enough for me, my coworkers and my students. I just thought they might be useful to other teachers as well. I don �t mean to harm anyone or to steal anything from anybody/site. I always include the source whenever I get anything from somebody else.
I do believe my worksheets are orginal, because I created them.
All I asked for was to know the problem with each of my ws, so that I could correct the mistake if there were any. And the urban llegends and jack the ripper ws don �t go against the rules.
The problem with ws being reported is that the owner of the ws receives a general message like this one
"Dear member,
This is a message to
inform you that your contribution _________ has
been reported for not following the rules of the website.
The moderators will review it soon.
If
there is nothing wrong with your contribution, it will be returned to
the recent contributions tomorrow, and you will get all your points."
and has no idea which rule a member of the site thinks you have broken and has no chance to talk about to try to solve the problem. The only thing left to do is wait.

Hi Nana Lins,
Your ws were reported as being copied ; sites provided. Just to let you know.
Have a nice day,

I agree that the authors of reported contributions should be given the reason why their work was reported, otherwise people are left in the dark and this is very frustrating.

it IS very unsatisfactory not to know which of the rules has been violated, and we have said so many times before. I wish Victor could have the reason added, it would save us a lot of questions and complaints.

I guess you don �t understand my point. When I created the urban legends mini book and the Jack the Ripper reading set, I cited the websites I had gotten the texts from. The activity I used in class for these texts were in the description of the worksheet.
This doesn �t go agaist any rules once the only rule about this says "You can use texts from other websites or
books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities (For example, reading
comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL
websites or books, it would be unfair."
In the Phrasal Verb Mini Book I compiled
information from two sources. The information I got from the english
page is common sense, I just thought the information would be more
reliable if it were taken from a well-known website.And again, I cited
both sources.
The past Perfect worksheet has an exercise adapted from a
ESL website but I believe this was created before the ESL printables
rules changed. And again, I cited the source. And I believe that the old worksheets would be left as
they were and new ones had to follow the new rules. Isn�t that right?
Yes, I do use information from the internet to make my worksheets, but I do not use them as mine. I create my worksheet and whenever I use information from the internet I cite the source.
