I was very surprised to see the article我很驚訝地看到文章 Some Students Use Net To Hire Experts to Do Their School Work有些學生使用的淨聘請專家做學校的工作 on WSJ by Lee Gomes.關於華爾街日報李戈麥斯。 I had我曾 written about exactly the same topic on 20th October 2005書面約完全相同的題目， 2005年10月20日 . 。 My article was titled:我的文章的標題是：
Outsourcing Homework to India外包功課，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.它談的現象，外包的功課，特別是突出了rentacoder的問題-“如果你看r entacoder你會發現幾個功課a ssigments起來的外包市場。 In fact they have a Personal Project / Homework Help category.事實上，他們有一個個人項目/功課，幫助類。 At present there are 88 open jobs in Homework category.”目前，有88個開放的職位類別功課“ 。

WSJ author writes on exactly the same topic and yet no attribution was provided.華爾街日報作者對完全相同的題目，還沒有歸屬提供了依據。

It is sad to see an WSJ writer plagiarizing my article without providing any attribution whatsoever.它是可悲的看到華爾街日報作家剽竊我的文章沒有提供任何的歸屬什麼。 What do you think?您怎麼看？

Update: 更新：
I am including the response from the author which made me feel at ease that it was probably a coincidence:我的反應，包括從作者，這使我感到安心，這可能是一個巧合：
