Not indicating that the content you post including copy/pasted text, translations, spun, or re-written articles are not your original work could be seen as [plagiarism. ](http://www.plagiarism.org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism/)

These are some tips on how to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or markdown ">" before the quote.
- Linking to your sources.
- Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
- The quotes should not cover more than 50% of the whole post. At least 50% of the content should be original.

Repeated plagiarized posts are considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the [cheetah bot](https://steemit.com/steemitabuse/@cheetah/cheetah-bot-explained).

If you are actually the original author, please do reply to let us know!
