I'd like to add: the proper place to look for a definition is a dictionary, rather than your hodgepodge of out-of-context quotes and student writing guides. The Oxford English Dictionary defines plagiarism as: "the action or practice of plagiarizing; the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one's own, of the ideas, or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of another." (http://www.library.dal.ca/killam/instruct/plagiar.htm) From the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary pla*giar*ize (BrE also -ise) /pledraz/ verb (disapproving) to copy another person's ideas, words or work and pretend that they are your own: [vn] He was accused of plagiarizing his colleague's results. [also v] pla*giar*ism /pledrzm/ noun [U, C] (disapproving) an act of plagiarizing sth; sth that has been plagiarized: There were accusations of plagiarism. a text full of plagiarisms (http://www1.oup.co.uk/elt/oald/) If you find an authoritative reference work claiming that an unattributed quote, even when clearly marked as a quote, is plagiarism, let me know.
