Hello Community Friends!
I'm happy to be back here with you all. Today, I want to talk about Achievement Task 3 which is all about Steemit content rules.

Why Rules Are Important

Just like in real life, rules help keep Steemit a fair and positive place for everyone. They make sure people share original work and respect each other.

What is Plagiarism?

Answer:

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else work whether it is text, images, or ideas without giving proper credit.

Types of Plagiarism:

• Complete Plagiarism : Copying an entire work word-for-word.
• Direct Plagiarism : Using parts of someone’s content without citation.
• Self-Plagiarism : Reusing your own previously published work.
• Mosaic Plagiarism : Mixing copied content without proper references.
• Accidental Plagiarism : Unintentional copying (common among beginners).

SOURCE

According to Oxford Languages plagiarism means:

"Presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement."

How to Avoid PLAGIARISM:

Plagiarism is bad. It means using someone else work as your own. Here is how to make original content:

• Learn First, Write Later.
• Study the topic well.
• Understand it fully before writing.

Make notes in your simple words

• Use Your Own Words.
• Don't copy sentences.
• Explain ideas like you're teaching a friend.
• Add your own examples.

Using Quotes :

Quotes are a good way to use someone else words without copying. When you find the perfect words that explain your point you can:

• Put the exact words "in quotation marks"
• Always say who said/wrote them
• Tell where you found them

Example:

If you're writing about motivation, you might use this famous quote:

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." Walt Disney

What is a Citation?

A citation is when you give credit to the person or website where you found information.

Example:

If you write about education and want to use this famous quote:

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
— Nelson Mandela Source

How to do it right:
✔ Put the exact words "in quotes"
✔ Name who said it (Nelson Mandela)
✔ Share where you found it (goodreads.com)
