When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.
Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.
Examples include:
- Using another artist's original drawing/painting/digital art as a “study” or inspiration without linking the original and giving credit to the original artist.
- Linking to someone else’s YouTube video with no source.
- Using someone else’s photos or text without linking to the original source etc.

If you add a source link, you will be eligible for better curation. This is why you have received these messages. It's to help you. Let me show you how easy this is. I'll give you a crash course.
Here's how you would properly source an image from Pixabay.
In the editor, place text such as "source" in the brackets, add your link in the second set of brackets.
Just place that handy little link snugly under the image you upload, and it will look something like this:
Source
If you take this extra step, you will be eligible for better curation. Best wishes.
