Aloha To Hawaiian Wikipedia Plagiarist

A long-time entertainment columnist with the Honolulu Star Bulletin plagiarized work from a number of sources, with Wikipedia among them, and lost his job over it. There's a word for inserting someone else's work unattributed into your own, and 21-year veteran Tim Ryan now has to hear that word associated with his writing. The Star Bulletin dismissed Ryan for numerous instances of plagiarism, an action taken after other outlets began covering the issue, as Slashdot found that Ryan had borrowed from a NPR All Things Considered interview with cellist Matt Haimovitz, and presented the interview as though he had conducted it.
