Good work on the Directional Drilling ↗ article. I just finished going through it and making some minor changes and inserting wiki links. I'll also be adding it to the "See Also" parts of a couple of articles so that this page is no longer orphaned *Kat* 07:25, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)


Plagiarism of Directional Drilling article


Hi Karley. I just came across this page ↗, which has content virtually 100% identical to this edit of yours ↗. Could you please comment? Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Correia. That looks as if someone took my edit of 2004, applied minor edits, and posted it without attribution to this other page in 2007. I see that the copying site is advertising "Free Energy" solutions, which is a red flag for fruitloopery. You'll note, for example, that the comment on the Wikipedia page about "this author having worked for Sperry ; other corporations may tell other lies about their history" has been omitted. Obviously too complex for the Free Energy people.

I'm trying to remember what I was doing in 2004 that prompted me writing that. I was still doing long-reach horizontal wells routinely (I've moved onto more wildcatting exploration work since ; almost always vertical wells). I'll guess that I was offshore and bored.

:Thanks Karley. And thanks for adding a subject line - don't know why I left it out. Regards, Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 09:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Why do you keep wasting your keystrokes on this. I've got the message that Wiki doesn't want contributions or contributors. Now sod off.
