Hi @patrizius92

People here are very strict when it comes to plagiarism. I don't disagree... after all it is against the law.

If you want to use content from another website, it's best that you put a '>' and a backspace in front of it.
It will then look like this:

this is content sited from another source.

You also need to add the full link to the page where you got the info from. 'Wikipedia' is not enough, it should be the full link to the exact page. In this case you should have mentioned your source like this: https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Banz%20Abbey

Don't let it get to you. We've all made the same mistake at one point in time. It's part of the learning process.

If you want to share information from an external source, you could use the Dlike app (https://dlike.io/). It allows you to share a link. With it, you could share your thought about it, your review or something else that is originally created by you.

This is an examle of a Dlike post I made recently. I shared the article, but wrote a summary of it using my own words.

Here's another one I posted on one of my alt accounts: https://steemit.com/dlike/@organicgardener/winter-gardening-tips-for-creating-a-gorgeous-winter-garden-

As you will notice, i just wrote a short, unique introduction, without copying from the source.

Look at it from the bright side: you learned something new today 😉

Thanks Mike that was actually a helpful post. 🙂. I just wish the poster before could have directed me in a right way like you. I am happy that you are encouraging new users.

It's just a standard comment they leave. They do have a link in there that redirects to what the 'rules' are.

I really need to get up that post with links to this kind of articles, so people who are new can inform them... I'll try to find some time to do so in the next couple of days
