How do we handle plagiarism posts?

First, please make sure you have read What to do when plagiarism is discovered.

Summary:

  • Double check
  • Edit ofor Flag
  • Educate the OP

If you think a post consists of plagiarised text and images and is not correctly attributed then you should flag for moderator attention, mention your concerns, and provide a link to where the material came from.

A moderator will handle it as appropriate.

The rules regarding this are quite specific so you can also leave a comment for the OP to adjust his answer.

How to reference material written by others:

When you find a useful resource that can help answer a question (from another site or in an answer on Super User) make sure you do all of the following:

  • Provide a link to the original page or answer
  • Quote only the relevant portion
  • Provide the name of the original author

...

Do not copy the complete text of external sources; instead, use their words and ideas to support your own. And always give proper credit to the author and site where you found the text, including a direct link to it.
