    If one attempts to write a good article, something that can be quoted they must use facts.  To use facts would open the door to plagiarism.   For example; imagine that you read;

    “It was found that exposure to the Sun for at least fifteen minutes a day boosts the immune system”, in a medical journal.

    You write; “According to the latest medical r…[Read more]

    • What you say is true. I agree that we should be using words without naming people as that would keep the writer safe and the article safe from the problems stated above. One can also write other topics like short stories, incidents which took place in ones life, places where one went and interesting things happened. Something which only we know and not many other know about it such things would keep the writer safe.

      While there are places where all topics can also be covered and written. One can search for them for such articles. While we can follow all these it is better we use the checker which is faulty and check as the site is using the same. If it shows that anything is repeating at some other place simply do not publish the article here. That is better way of playing it safe and not being called names.

      • I’m going to avoid topical factual items here and post them on other sites. This will just be a pop corn site.

    This is why this site is lowly rated.  There is very little to read.  You can NOT post about a political situation in Your country which would be of educational benefit as you would be calling the names of real people, describing real incidents, which would likely be mentioned in newspapers and texts.

    I will cease from posting anything of real value.

    • Good content.
      Thanks for the share

    • True fears play on our mind and fears of different kind are there as mentioned by you in the article. Which fear applies to whom depends on what that person is uncomfortable with. If this is not controlled and understood properly it shifts from one thing to another and then to another. Thus that person tends to fear many things in he or her life and develops fear psychosis. This generates new health problems which are mind related and complex.

      The problem is that individual does not realize what is happening to him or her and why they are behaving that way and what is the thing which is causing that fear among them. So the trigger for that is unknown and they also do not realize the problem which they are having in the hand and continue life as normal. Till one day things really get out of control. Then recovery and getting back to the original situation proves very difficult. Use article covering issues related to fears and phobias. Thanks for the share.

    • That was my problem when I wrote for a client on one of the writing sites. When I used facts, all of the alleged plagiarized data will have yellow marks on it, meaning it was plagiarized! So I always call the attention of the site owners, then they will let my article pass!

    • I don’t know too, but I also believe in angels. Like when a newborn-baby fell from his bed and he landed on the floor unhurt. The theory was that the baby’s guardian angel catched him to prevent him being hurt.

      I pray to angels when traveling to protect us from harm. For aliens, I could not tell they really exist.

      • Christians are taught to pray in the Spirit, address the Father with honor, and ask for what we want “in Jesus’ name”. Our prayers reach the throne of God directly. Angels are ministering spirits who get their “orders” direct from God.

    • Whosoever was there as a real parent really had an unfortunate time in this whole incident. It is very wrong on the part of some to create hatred in the minds of the child for their parents to settle personal scores. Parents too should be aware that such things may happen and have to be in regular touch with the kids and see that they are not lost due to these kind of activities by other relatives. If the parents share a strong relationship with the children emotionally, physically and are there around for them when they need them. Such events will never take place. But in this case the relationship is lost forever. Thanks for the share.

    • As long as you give attribution to the source, there is nothing wrong with it.

      I usually do that also, citing some date or statistics but I state the source or cite the persons who said it. It is not plagiarism, like what you said in your post; it is merely giving credit where credit is due. It is not owning what other people had said,or what other people had studied or researched.

      • The problem of A.I., if not properly tweaked is that it can not tell the difference between a quote and plagairism.

        Hence if I write; President Barack Obama said, when running for President of the United States, “Yes We Can,” I would be flagged for plagiarism by an A.I. checker

    • Informative article to any newcomer or even someone who has been around for a few months. It is better to write fictional work or details which cover some subject which only we know and no one else would know. But it impedes the number of choices which are available to a writer. I saw your article of Rio Olympics and also the comments as to what was written. I found the article based on facts.

      Hence I appreciated the article. That is how an article should be if it is a subject like that if it uses data from source hence forth I will make it a point to quote the source so that my article will not be called plagiarized by the checker. For someone new this article is informative provided they read and know what happens when facts are given. I am thinking as to tackle this issue. One I wrote an article in the forum. Two I am responding to this article by you. I am checking what other options are there for writers safety. Thanks for the share.

      • If I was taking the information from the NY Times, I would have admitted it, but I took the information from three different sources, and combined them. I put it in my own words, but the problem is that I could not put how much money, how long, when, and what in different words. A stadium was built in the Amazon which was a waste of money. I could not change the place, or the fact it was neglected.

        A wiser and more astute Admin would appreciate I couldn’t change those facts or put them into my own words without destroying the substance. If I had written ‘a lot of money’ instead of 12 Billion, then the plag. detector would have passed. But the article would be worthless.
