Not indicating that the content you copy/paste is not your original work could be seen as plagiarism.
These are some tips on how to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or markdown ">" before the quote.
- Linking to your sources.
- Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
- It is recommended that the quotes should not cover more than 50% of the whole post. At least 50% of the content should be original.
Repeated plagiarized posts are considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.
If you are actually the original author, please do reply to let us know!
Using irrelevant tags, especially popular tags, makes it hard to find good and relevant content.
Please try to use only relevant tags when posting.
#introduceyourself / #introducemyself
The “introduceyourself/introducemyself” tag is for creating a post that tells us about you. Users are encouraged to use this tag exclusively for that, and not to reuse it.
Please only use the “steemit” tag for articles distinctly related to Steemit, the website, itself.
Thank You!
