RE: FINANCIAL MISTAKES

in Proof of Brain3 years ago (edited)

Portions of your writing do not appear to be original. Your text appears to originate from the following article that was posted sometime ago: 13 money mistakes you should avoid – UGNEWS24

I have listed an example below, but there are others. Are you the author of the referenced article? Please let me know if you are.

I see the reference you have leads you to a facebook page with the article, but the majority of your post is taken directly from it. In a way, you're directly quoting it, but are saying it's referenced. When you list something as a reference, I would expect you would pull ideas from it that becomes a part of what you're trying to communicate.

Money Mistake 2 - Never spend money you haven't received. Don't even promise someone money based on a promise you have from someone else. If someone tells you: "Ezra, come to my office tomorrow at 9am and pick #30,000"don't go out to buy items on credit based on this promise, with the hope that you will pay off your creditor when the promised money comes; it may not come as promised and this will leave you in problems with your creditors.UGNEWS24Mistake 2 - Never spend money you haven’t received.

Whenever you copy something and post, use Markdown formatting for citation, which in this case is >

Make this very clear at the beginning of the post and leave the post with >

At the end, put the source source and if possible write something of your own in your words. That way makes your post better in cases like this. The act of just copying and pasting and even with citation and source can generate a lot of "zombie" texts around here in POB and this may not end well in the end xD

@scholaris.pob

Are you the author of the referenced article?

It's not my article, as you can see what I wrote before the post, I came across it on Facebook and I decided to share that was why I dropped the Facebook link I got it from...

It might be somewhere else I don't know but I got mine from Facebook, maybe I should have quoted instead of referencing...

Sorry for that..

Thanks..

I've been reading your stuff for a while now. I wouldn't worry about it. I would definitely keep the reference, but next time quote the things you take directly from a source.

It happens. Thank you for responding.

Correction taken..
Thanks for your understanding...

👍👍
