RE: Weekly Curation Report Of @steemcurator04 | April - Week #2 | - By The PERFECT SEVEN ARTS team
I understand your point of view and your opinions, they are understandable. However, there is something that goes beyond ourselves and our opinions, and that is the meaning of plagiarism.
According to the technical definition of the word plagiarism, just using someone else's idea without mentioning or giving credit is considered plagiarism. This information can be found in books or on google, simply by researching.
Even though "this drawing" was made by the author himself, the idea of this work is not original, so you must give credit to the source where you were guided.
Just by copying someone else's idea without giving credit, plagiarism is committed.
I only make a correction, with base so that they warn the user to edit and to place the real source of where it was guided.

I understand what you are saying. This author has taken the idea from the internet and he has changed it a bit. But he may not know that it is necessary to put a link to that original idea. I'm sure most users are not aware of this. Because almost everyone thinks that pictures or paragraphs taken from the internet are plagiarism. But they may not know that the link should be shown even in such a small thing.
Thank you so much for your attention on this matter. This author has worked so hard for his drawing that he can be instructed to include the link in the original idea without proving that his article is plagiarism. Also I hope that in the future the authors will add the link even in such ideas obtained from the internet.
I think it would be good to make users aware of this fact. Because then such minor or mistakes will not happen.
Yes, many people make drawings and artwork with their own ideas, or by taking ideas from someone else and turning them into something new. But when you make a new copy of something that has already been done or something that someone else did as it is, you should always add the source or reference image, if you don't do it, the user makes you feel that the idea of the work is 100% yours, and it can be considered as plagiarism.
The issue of plagiarism goes beyond just text and images, it includes ideas, expressions, it would be considered plagiarism if the source is not mentioned, even if it is royalty free or commercial material, but you must always give credit, since original ideas always have more weight than copied ideas.
Without a doubt, this way you could differentiate and appreciate those artists who develop their own ideas with more value.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why the great artists mostly visit other publications like #thediarygame, which are 100% original articles.
Yes you are right. The author of this case has added the source from which he obtained the opinion as instructed now. I'm glad he understood this.
Actually 100% original articles can be considered as diarygame post and articles about users' daily life experiences.
Great sister, it's a pleasure to collaborate.
Me too. Thank you ☺️
