@XLiquidtinkX Hey, could you maybe not "help" by tweeting stupid shit like this to AP?

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

Oh no, do you think they might sue us for quoting information found on Wikipedia? What do you think the damages are, counselor? https://t.co/EdyZTJ9frG

@DirgeMagazine That is probably why @AndrewChesnut1 contacted you - because *he* knows how citation works. (So does his publisher's legal dept).

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@IAmADracula Hahaha. Just so, Uncle Buck.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

Dragging our integrity for self-promotion is gross, and we aren't going to host it on our platform. Period.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

We don't give someone credit just because they demand it. Academics know damn well how citation works, tantrums nonwithstanding.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

Those of you who read Dirge know that we take great pains to give due credit. When a work is not used as a source, it's not cited as one.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@Misty_Myrick @AndrewChesnut1 And he's hustling it in every comment. So you could have fooled me. It's a bad look in any case.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@Misty_Myrick @AndrewChesnut1 Oh, because it looks like he wants us to mention it really badly even though it wasn't used in the research.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@Misty_Myrick Saying that you're owed credit doesn't mean you're owed credit and the motivation here is dubious at best. #booksales

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@Misty_Myrick This is in no way plagiarism. We issue corrections and retractions when called for. The sources are properly cited.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@misssamperrin Bye. We won't acquiesce to this sort of ugly, petty behavior.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@misssamperrin Andrew's book was not used as a source. The sources used are properly cited. Andrew wants attention.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 @ndccharity The article's references can all be found in the cited sources. Your book was not used in the research.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 Thank you, Andrew. I apologize for the upset. I'll confer with the writer and editorial staff and get back to you directly.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@MortePhoto @AndrewChesnut1 We take attribution extremely seriously, so if there's an error, we'll absolutely rectify it.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 @MortePhoto Can you point to a specific passage or piece of information that is unique to your research?

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 @MortePhoto I'm not sure on what you're basing that, but if you're owed credit, we'll certainly rectify that immediately.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 I see that you didn't make an attempt to contact anyone directly, so we can hash this out over Twitter instead.

[Dirge Magazine @DirgeMagazine]

@AndrewChesnut1 Hi, Andrew. I'll be looking into this directly, as we care enough about citation to have our writers cite their research.
