Dear @hivewatchers. Thank you for taking this issue to my attention. The field of Architecture and Design is an immensely scientific discipline and definitely requires a lot of technical descriptions, elements, and supporting details. Thus this crucial information needs to be properly indicated as part of my post's architectural narrative. This is also in accordance with the rules of the Architecture+Design Community on the Hive (with me being its original community creator). Hence, I had to refer to other websites to obtain the accurate information needed for the featured building, site or landmark. However, as much as these free sources were readily available on the Internet, I absolutely had no intention of spinning, rewording, or rewriting their content. If I had used their data in my publication, it was for the primary purpose of exhibiting the published facts about the mentioned architecture.
I am fully aware of the severe consequences of plagiarism and the damage it causes to my professional standing. So as a mature, ethical, and responsible individual, why would I want to damage my reputation? Again, thank you very much for your kind consideration and understanding.
Creator your own community and allowing plagiarism (including in your own posts) does not give license to abuse the Hive ecosystem with plagiarism-fraud.
Your explanation about "descriptions, elements, and supporting details" makes no sense. Just because the information is related to "descriptions, elements, and supporting details" does not mean that it gives you a right to copy someone else's writing about these things, or to keep refusing to cite the source from where you copied it.
Okay understood. I will cite all the sources and references in my future publications. Again, I have no intention of plagiarizing content but if you say I've committed this offense, my sincere apologies for this honest mistake.
