| Oct 27, 2012 at 10:59 | comment | added | grunwald2.0 | @DaveClarke Sorry for using the word "cite" and no offense, but I couldn't anticipate that everyone gets so hung up on it and assumes that I want to plagiarize (and ask permission for it on SE lol), how silly. (This is not my first post on academia.SE) If you want to answer a question on SE, you should, please, consider to read the whole text I wrote. I wrote it for good reason. The bold text was just my CONCLUSION from everything else I wrote. Aside from that, your tip "find the most recent or most official version of the work." is gold, I was never sure about this, I'll obey this now. :) | |

| Oct 26, 2012 at 18:25 | comment | added | user568 | I'm not sure where you came to the conclusion that the OP simply used the other sources without siting them. Specifically given the phrase "by now I sadly had to discard a significant part of it" | |

Wikipedia is a tertiary source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_a_tertiary_source)
