I did paraphrasing, not plagiarism. These are two different things.

When you paraphrase, you use your own words to express something that was written or said by another person.

Paraphrasing and Summarizing.

I do not say that you are bad, but saying that paraphrasing is a form of plagiarism is simply lying, because it is not true. You are the one, who trying to make me look bad.

I do not deserve the downvote.

    Good job finding a source on the internet supporting your case. I can do the same.

    Paraphrasing, stating someone else’s ideas in your own words, can lead you to unintentional plagiarism.

    So we all know that you cannot take the ideas from another text, even when you are putting them completely into your own words, without citing the source.

    If you keep in mind a very basic definition of plagiarism (representing someone else's words, data or ideas as your own)

    Edit: I did not downvote you for the act of paraphrasing/plagiarism in itself. I did it because I don't believe you deserve being rewarded for the ideas and content someone else wrote.

      You are right in the aspect that I should have mentioned the sources.

      I did it because I don't believe you deserve being rewarded for the ideas and content someone else wrote.

      Would you still downvote if I would use something licensed under creative commons (CC), GNU, MIT, BSD (or any similar) license, which allows all kinds of (even commercial) usage? I would mention the author and the source, of course.

      I would not but if your post consisted of only that I wouldn't upvote it either.

        I learned the lesson. If I will use someone else's content, then I will mention the sources.
