I appreciate that someone has found my work interesting enough to copy, but it seems that there should be at least some reference noting where the ideas came from (beyond an indecipherable URL link). Basically the entire section under "m of predication" was copy and pasted directly out of my article with no attribution. Even the text from my footnotes was plagiarized. This is really not a kind way to reproduce academic information. At the very least, the article could be mentioned and you could use quotes around copyrighted material that was lifted verbatim.

See and compare: Foy Scalf "Statements of Identity and the m of Predication" Lingua Aegyptia 16 (2008), 135–151

As the creator of these pages uses the first person ("My analysis, however, is different ..."), this gives the impression that the words on the page are theirs. It would be more useful (and honest) to use proper citation and quotation practices so that the reader knows clearly what is the author's own contributions and where they have lifted from others.
