Membership Validation Post by @jheirtalks : 03-09-2021

Before I jump in to answer the questions for my membership validation, I would like to give special thanks to @njaywan and to the World of Football community as a whole.

Question 1: What post do you intend to create in this community?

As it is a community peculiar to football related post, I'd be posting only football related posts. That's all!

Question 2: What do you understand by the term content etiquette?

Well, to my own understanding and as the name implies, content etiquette are kind of guidelines, rules or principles that should be met when creating, editing or manipulating a written piece of information.
As part of my achievement post 3, posted on the Newcomers community, I was able to gather some useful piece of information's on this topic.

Question 3: What is plagiarism and how do you intend to refrain from this act?

Well, I understand plagiarism as an act of replicating what was not originally yours without proper referencing or citations from the original source.

I have intensions from refraining from this act by intentionally giving relevant credits to sources I copied any information from by citations or adding quotations. etc.

Question 4: What do you understand by copyright-abuse?

To my understanding, copyright-abuse is more or less using an information, documents or images without a proper legal go-ahead.

Question 5: Where can you find copyright-free images for your posts?

Well, for my post I can get copyright-free images from - PIxels, Unsplash, Shutterstock

Question 6: How do you properly cite an image or post. Show the license details as well.

Well, I think the steps to be taken are pretty easy. For example;

When you need an image for any of your post, you should go to a site with relevant information's on what you want and also one that their images are free to use.

i.e, I'm giving an analysis on Virgil Van Dijk and I need his photo. All I'd do is go over to google and type in his name.
I'll then go over and click on Images.
