While the other answers were also good & aligned with many people's intuitive understanding, while offering greater precision & clarity. I follow the Shog rule to keep things straightforward: avoid quoting entire passages verbatim. Instead, use relevant excerpts & use your own words explaining why you trust them. Quoting from external links is as important on SU as not using only screen shots though—content preservation wise—and for quality content—don't be a parrot only though. | |

That too should be a rule, and if they don't like it, don't be a mod IMO, that should come with the territory, not some hidden 'whose initial decision' protection, stand by your decision when you make it to realize this is not fair practice having some protection to stay hidden. Otherwise, have it be a group vote for those with the powers and then keep your identify protected per group vote. Use your tools to find malicious downvoting and fix it the same way you do all serial downvotes. | |

In that case, you have the answer in your own question: Plagiarism - posting the work of others with no indication that it is not your own.

| Oct 5, 2018 at 2:42 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @MichaelFrank, that thread doesn't really address the case referred to here. The material was attributed, but an entire article was copied verbatim; it was a question of whether copying a large amount of someone else's work constitutes plagiarism even if attributed. | |
