One way is to go to the side panel (the blue section) and click "Flagged questions." Once clicked, it will take you to the page containing all of the questions that have been flagged. You will see a drop-down menu at the top saying "sort by all Q&A that were flagged for anything..." Click where it says "anything" and scroll down until you see the "Copy/paste" option. If you click that, you will see a list of results that have usually been copied and pasted directly from other sites (plagiarized).

You can ask the same question on various forums, that would not be plagiarism. On the other hand, if you were to copy another contributor's answer word for word on another website and pretend you wrote it, that would be plagiarism.

Because WikiAnswers is a community effort and a single answer may result from the collaboration of two or more contributors, it would be appropriate to credit WikiAnswers.
