I've previously highlighted 4 plagiarised articles to you for which you were banned from the World of Football community.

I would very much like it if you stopped plagiarising now please. Thank you.

hi @the-gorilla, I am very sorry for all these,
it is not my intention to plagiarize on this platform.
I am a newcomer on this steemit platform and
I am now going through my achievements tasks, which I am sure I would be more equipped with all the rules after I am done with all the achievements.
I quite remember, I didn't know how to use markdown in my post but now after completing my achievement 2, I can boldly apply markdowns to my post.

in that post I used my own words to create the article but I picked the quotes directly from the site which a friend told me I am supposed to cite them.

I am really sorry for all these.
Please you can also guide me to how to always post plagiarism free content on this platform.

sometimes I would write something in my own words and it would be flagged as plagiarism, I am really confused and don't know what to do.

Thanks for reading.

Hi @blessingkasabe, I appreciate the challenge faced by newcomers.

I would say a simple guide is that when you are taking content from another site, to cite the site. In particular, if you are copy and pasting, then use the > quote markdown. If you are using a site for information or inspiration then say so. You will find it difficult to fall foul of plagiarism by over citing your sources whereas under-citing will likely lead to difficulties, especially with the increasing prominence of the fight against plagiarism on this platform.

Achievement 3 will help significantly with this.
