Yes - You need to cite your source Posted: Sep 18th, 2019 - 7:59 am In Reply to: The source of article in the - original post is...
I’ve seen it here before. Sometimes there isn’t even a link, sometimes there’s an article that appears to be written by the poster until you read it and realize that it was copied verbatim from another source. There are publications who copyright their material and it’s an infringement on copyright law to reproduce it without permission. My opinion is that it is dishonest to post giving people the impression that it’s original content or that you were the author. If you remember your high school and college writing classes, you’ll remember that we were required to use footnotes to annotate information taken from other sources. I didn’t see the link at first because it was at the bottom of the page but after I read a little it was obviously written by someone else. This was a long explanation, but a link to the site with a brief synopsis might have been more appropriate. Anyone who uses this forum to disseminate and obtain news news has issues anyway, but that’s a topic for another day.
