Achievement 3 by @koladammy Task : Content Etiquette

Ever experienced the pain of effortfully working towards something only for someone else to get the accolades. I have and I guess you also have, be it an article, idea ...no matter how small, there's no justification for plagiarism.

Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgment.
"can you relate"?

Plagiarism in itself may not be considered a crime but it's a serious ethical offense. It might be accidental or intentional but your exposure to this content would make any further act of plagiarism Intended.

To produce and share quality posts, it's sometimes inevitable to seek from other sources or references.

How then can we effectively do so without risk of infringement?

If it's not originally yours, never make it appear to seem so. So saying, whenever you decide to incorporate someone else's material, text, quote, image whatsoever into your posts endeavor to always indicate by linking out to the source. An appropriate example is cited below.

Source.

To provide an alternative text for image link, following the markdown styling guide. Input the alternative text in this format

[Alt text goes here]

Followed by the source link

(Link goes here)

So saying

          [Source](https://justanexample.com)

If incorporated, you should get a text highlighted in blue embedded with the link you're referring to as illustrated.

Source

OR

you can wrap the text in blockquotes by putting a ">" just before the text as illustrated below

It's wrong to steal other peoples content

Html ahrefs format also work fine here.
For in-depth understand check out the markdown styling guide.
The next time you create an article/post be sure to always link out to sources, for texts use inverted commas or block quotes then indicate sources.

...use block quotes then indicate sources

OR

"Use Inverted commas then indicate sources

PS: sources cited above shouldn't necessarily be clicked, for example purposes only.
