Achievement 3 by @meritlookene task: Content Etiquette

As I was reading @cryptokannon's article on content etiquette, I realised that coming up with original content on the subject of plagiarism was not going to be easy. I mean... the concept of plagiarism has been explained so extensively and by so many different sources on internet that there is hardly a way of doing it without either:

a) quoting someone or
b) paraphrasing someone.

For a moment I thought about skipping the task altogether but then I thought: "hey, isn't this task about citing your sources? You don't really have to define and explain plagiarism in a completely unique way. What is actually required is to quote and paraphrase in order to complete this task. And, obviously, to cite your sources."

I happen to love quotes and the one that best describes my personal thoughts about plagiarism is by Criss Jami:

"When you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs. " ^Source

It shouldn't be difficult at all to give credit where credit is due. That is, in essence, what citing is all about.

And as far as originality is concerned, here's my favourite quote from author John Mason:

"You were born an original, don't die a copy. " ^Source
