When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.
Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.
Examples include:
- Using another artist's original drawing/painting/digital art as a “study” or inspiration without linking the original and giving credit to the original artist.
- Linking to someone else’s YouTube video with no source.
- Using someone else’s photos or text without linking to the original source etc.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention @sources because I, like you have a zero tolerance stance against plagiarism. @jaguar.force is quite correct. I omitted to include the links to the information I supplied for this post.
He obviously does not follow me because if he did, he would know that I make a habit of including the source of my research and am always happy to do so. On this occasion, I simply forgot, however I was able to easily access the sources in question from my notes after discovering your comments. Sometimes I am in a rush as was the situation when posting this blog and it was an innocent oversight on my part.
I have now rectified the situation and will make sure to be more diligent in the future to include my sources.
