Is this event one that the competition has previously sponsored, and therefore is there a risk of being perceived as “me-too-istic” and confusing the target audience as to the sponsor’s identity?

Marlene Curtis Jan 6, 2008:
Já que a Susanne abordou o assunto, creio que o termo "plagearista" é demasiadamente forte para o seu contexto. Plágio é crime, e aqui trata-se apenas de uma competição.
Susanne Rindlisbacher Jan 6, 2008:
Great solution!
Teresa Cristina Felix de Sousa (asker) Jan 6, 2008:
Achei a sua idéia muito pertinente, colega, apesar de concordar que o sentido da coisa também foi captado pelos outros colegas. Mas a sua sugestão de pegar o bonde do estilo do texto foi bem legal. Estou mudando a entrada do glossário para "Ói-nós-aqui-também". Muito obrigada pela luz
Bjs e feliz 2008!

... when the question was closed. Don't take my "disagree" personally. It was meant to alert the asker to the fact that with a little more time better solutions (not mine) might have come up.

Aquele que imita, sem originalidade, trabalho alheio.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Susanne Rindlisbacher : But then, the writer of this text could easily have used the much more common "plagiaristic". Why not try for a more literal translation?

This was a post-grade "disagree". How would you translate "me-too-istic" literally? Eu-também-ista? // muito boa, a reação da Teresa, e muito pertinente o seu comentário quanto a dar mais tempo antes de decidir.
agree Humberto Ribas

Obrigado, Humberto, bom domingo.
