I was very surprised to see the article我很惊讶地看到文章 Some Students Use Net To Hire Experts to Do Their School Work有些学生使用的净聘请专家做学校的工作 on WSJ by Lee Gomes.关于华尔街日报李戈麦斯。 I had我曾 written about exactly the same topic on 20th October 2005书面约完全相同的题目， 2005年10月20日 . 。 My article was titled:我的文章的标题是：
Outsourcing Homework to India外包功课，印度 . 。 It talks about the phenomenon of outsourcing homework and specifically highlights the Rentacoder issue - “If you glance at rentacoder you will find several homework assigments up for outsourcing.它谈的现象，外包的功课，特别是突出了rentacoder的问题-“如果你看r entacoder你会发现几个功课a ssigments起来的外包市场。 In fact they have a Personal Project / Homework Help category.事实上，他们有一个个人项目/功课，帮助类。 At present there are 88 open jobs in Homework category.”目前，有88个开放的职位类别功课“ 。

WSJ author writes on exactly the same topic and yet no attribution was provided.华尔街日报作者对完全相同的题目，还没有归属提供了依据。

It is sad to see an WSJ writer plagiarizing my article without providing any attribution whatsoever.它是可悲的看到华尔街日报作家剽窃我的文章没有提供任何的归属什么。 What do you think?您怎么看？

Update: 更新：
I am including the response from the author which made me feel at ease that it was probably a coincidence:我的反应，包括从作者，这使我感到安心，这可能是一个巧合：
