Hi everybody, Yesterday there ws a worksheet uploaded by waterlily87 which was not his/her own worksheet but a series of worksheet from one of the Turkish sites. I got that series of worksheets 7-8 years ago but I don �t remeber the site. Actually it was in several sites because I downloaded its different versions (doc or pdf) at different times from different websites. cheezels asked me the website so we can report it as a stolen. Actually I have seen many worksheets from that series but I couldn �t report as stolen worksheets because I didn �t know the websites. But this morning I serched all the Turkish websites that I know and after some time I found one of its versions. The adress is below. You can also download it from that website. It �s a Turkish website and you need to register to download. Registration is free but it �s in Turkish. If you cannot register or don �t want to register, I can e-mail anyone who wants that series of worksheets, wheter in doc format or pdf or both. The website is below: http://www.elt-time.com/forum/index.php?topic=3738.0
My dear I think you shouldn �t have done this because all are trying to learn something. even if that is from another web Waterrlilly87 is cleaver to do it for the people who want �s to learn. what you should do is dont go around looking for things if its stolen or not learn something if can.
Dear jchris,
agkk is absolutely right in reporting stolen worksheets. The idea of this site is not only to learn from each other but to share ideas and worksheets. I use the internet, other printables on this site and books for inspiration but have never uploaded a sheet claiming it to be mine. Waterlilly87 is probably clever because up until now he/she has not been caught out. But the purpose of this site is to contribute quality worksheets that is your own work. Thanks agkk for reporting and to other users we must continue to be vigliant about this!
You might want to read the rules for contributing to this site again especially the part about copying from other websites.
Please remember:
You
cannot send printables taken from other websites or publications. They
must be your own creations.
We only accept ESL resources written in English language.
A frame, a
border or a single drawing is not an ESL resource. Remember that this
website is not a clipart collection.
If
your contribution is a copy from other website or from a book your
account in ESLprintables will be cancelled.
If
you have a worksheet that you didn �t make yourself (borrowed from a
colleage teacher, for example) DON �T SEND IT. It might be taken from
this or another website, and you would be banned from eslprintables.com
Don �t
send useless documents. Nobody will download them and you �ll get 0
points.
I Think that what agkk has done is the right thing to do. We are not suppose to upload worksheets that are not original. We all have the right to know about a good website! Thanks for the tip agkk!!
the rules in this site are REALLY CLEAR. you shouldn�t upload work NOT DONE BY YOU. one thing is to use pictures and parts of other ws or places (books, sites,...), and another thing is to take it straight from another site. What I think agkk means is that Waterlily87 has taken it from another site WITHOUT ADDING ANYTHING on his own.
THAT �S WRONG! there are here many hardworking people who spend hours making worksheets and they share them with the rest of the community. If people just take from another site, the deal is not fair!.
AGKK, thanks for letting us know about it.... (I am not personally interested in those ws because I don�t teach young students, but if I did, I would have liked to know)
Waterlilly87 is not clever, he/she is someone dishonest. If i find a good site i write it on the forum so that everybody can enjoy it. BUT i don �t try to take advantage of a system in an unfair way, thinking my colleagues are mere suckers! I find her attitude absolutely revolting!
ops what a topic to talk. I have no heart feeling agkk. thanks for all the comments. I am sure nobody is having a hitch.but what I thought is we must not run down any one. all of us are trying to help each other. nice to read all you comments. be happy. My e mail is [email protected]
