Disambig?

This seems like it would be better as a disambig, or at least with more cohesive defintions. I'll see what I can do.

Cheating in online gaming

There's a lot of information that could be added to this article, especially surrounding online gaming.

Aimbots, radars, wallhacks, skinhacks, illegal scripts and settings, etc. have all been used in various games by players looking to gain an unfair advantage. One notable user of cheats was a former anticheat admin at CAL back somewhere around 2000-2002. He was banned from competition for two years over that incident. It was written about in a number of gaming sites, and caused CAL a lot of negative publicity. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 22:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

Any chance that whoever put the tag at the top of the article could explain it here? Mglovesfun 00:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced material

I've unfortunately removed this material

"A 2005 survey by the Center for Academic Integrity reported that 70% of American college students admitted to some cheating. ...

"The survey indicated that cheating is also a problem in high schools, where 60% of students in public and parochial schools admitted to plagiarism. Instances occur where teachers and school administrators have been implicated in cheating on tests to improve their students' scores. Generally, an exaggerated emphasis on the significance of performance test scores triggers the motivation to cheat among some individuals."

I can find loads of surveys with citations on the topic, but I can't find this particular survey so I've taken it out and put other ones in. If anyone can find the citation, stick it back in the article. Mglovesfun 15:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

also: "Yet another example of cheating in a competition was found in the world-renowned St.Cloud Minnesota 88.1 KVSC 50-hour trivia contest, held February 8th-10th of 2008. A team competing in the contest, Chairleg Of Truth, changed facts on Wikipedia to conceal the answers to many questions asked throughout the competition. The team was then officially dubbed Chairleg of Un-Truth, and subjected to numerous boo's and hisses at the concluding award ceremony." - i'd delete that. sounds rather childish. 84.129.178.62 (talk) 16:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Splitting article

Would anyone consider splitting this article into cheating in different domains, rather than small, underdeveloped sections which is what it is now. Mglovesfun 16:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Pictures

Could we get some pictures please? --204.113.186.226 16:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Relationship

In relationship cheating, there would be 3 people at least. The Cheater:Person cheating, Cheatee: the person being cheated on, and The person who the cheater is cheating with. Is there a name for this third person? I agree that these articles would be better served by being split into different articles. --User:Nightwindzero 15:01, 11 Dec 2006

Adulterer. If one looks at almost any of the major dictionaries, one will find the definition limited to sexual infidelity, and often to married couples. Language is only adjusting awkwardly to the plethora of non-marital sexual relationships, despite their antiquity. My sense is that this section could do with a lot more careful use of language and citation. If one is going to define words differently to the classic authorities on words, one should state why (as in, following what authority) and note the difference.Jamesofengland (talk) 00:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Patriots

The part about the New England Patriots "They were rightly fined for flagrantly violating the league rules regarding use of video to obtain an unfair advantage" was somewhat subjective I bolded the words that I find objectionable. Irishwarriorking 21:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This is a pedia site, not a dictionary

I oppose the page as just a bunch of different definitions of cheating. Are there a lot of other 'definition' pages like this?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ykral (talk • contribs) 09:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that a picture of Marion Jones should appear at the top of this article, considering that her name is now synonymous with cheating. In fact, the term "jonesing" used to mean that a person was craving something, namely drugs. However, in athletic circles, the term now means "to take illegal performance-enhancing substances." Thus, "Ussain Bolt just set the world record in the 100 m dash, he must be Jonesing." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.76.207 (talk) 18:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

UK English

We don't call someone who cheats a 'cheater' we call them a cheat. I will add this in the introduction.Traveller palm (talk) 09:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
