Wow, while i was making a new post i haven't saw all this flags for this article. It's unexpected, but maybe fair in some point. But let me say some words: I don't claim on the full original content here, and don’t deny that I saw this article but on another resource: http://www.pvsm.ru/sport/177060 . and before it i've read original research http://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1436.pdf (what russian author used too), that research was published more that 1 month ago, and Russian article 1 week ago.
it's hurt to hear about simple plagiarism through translation. I spent about 4 hours on writing this post. Looking for other researches on this theme, and found it only in Russian variant, because it was not easy for me to formulate clear ask in English on google.
I'm certainly grateful to the author (who you pointed out) for the collected material and original text, but anyway i've tried to create post with my own design and more meaning, and with my own minds, and wanted to share by interesting material with steemit community, first of all. Yes I use translator because have not enough knowledge in language, not for stupid convertation. Maybe you are right that it's plagiarism use work of another author like a fundament (like many of us). Maybe I can’t understand difference between my article and others, where users use quotes and fragments from journal articles for example (size 2-3 pages) and add 1 small paragraph of their opinion, and don’t gets any flags. I’ve made an insights from your down-vote. On steemit i can use only experiment and researches of professional scientists like a base for article, and add links on it to avoid negative and accusation. Because it’s enough the one scream about plagiarism in replies to kill my reputation. Thank you.
I don't think that i made something wrong. There is no rule on STEEMIT that content must be full original, there is rule that content must be a usefull and interesting for users (if this article gort so many votes that't mean it was interesting)
But i understantd feelings of other users and I apologize to the readers, who rely on completely original content. I apologize to the authors, who create something really unique, and don't get anything, and every time, when they see article like mine, they are thinking about unfair.
Good for you to own up to this.
Indeed there isn't much by way of rules and best practices, but the will of the users are the final arbiter of what is acceptable or not. Plagiarism is bad policy in general and just because it might be ok for a lot of people and other websites, that doesn't mean the users here have to tolerate it.
I hope that eventually eventually a best practices for content will be discussed and published for all users and especially new users to get an idea of how they should make things.
The last thing I want to see here is people copying others content to profit from it without giving credit to the original source. This isn't kat.cr or piratebay. We can do a good thing here and make it an awesome community or we can be jerks that take others work like selfish children.
It's our choice to make, so where do all of you stand?
Why not just credit source etc - i'd bet this would end up in nearly same vote heights .. !
EXACLTY!
@ doctorstrange and @cass, I agree with it. It was my mistake to perceive STEEMIT like another platform. And don't think about creators and users with enough respect. Because of it my actions looks like insult. I've wrote before why i'm here https://steemit.com/life/@seva/don-t-give-up-if-you-don-t-earn-money-on-steemit>post
And i will be here anyway, because i want to become part of STEEMIT. All down votes that i've got -fair enough i think, and it's not disappoints me. I've disappointed that now i'm looks like the scammer
