RE: Plagiarism by Newbies: The Importance of Citing Sources and Honesty
Indeed that is often the first thing that I see in most newbies that first start out.
I myself got corrected by @surpassinggoogle when I was just mentioning under the images the words from google.
Citing google as a source is not citing the original author or creator!!
If they are from a community that I am in I can reach out and message them but if I don't know them I leave a message and hopefully they take it positively as I did when I was corrected.
That's so nice of @surpassinggoogle It is better to be corrected so you don't encounter issues. I personally feel uncomfortable correcting someone unless I know that person. I just don't know how they will react. I'm also afraid of flags in case they misinterpret my honest concern. So maybe I'll have more confidence on that part if I have already grown here. And I admire people who have the courage to properly call out someone. It's a skill I still have to learn.
