I (Hive account@oneday1) render a sincere apology to the entire steemit community for my shameful act yesterday. Posting article I did not write was not part of me until yesterday I posted a copied work from a site forgetting to credit the author and to make reference to the page. This is act is called PLAGIARISM.

Plagiarism* is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. WIKIPEDIA

Plagiarism* is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. OXFORD DICTIONARY

Plagiarism* is when someone uses another person’s words, ideas, or work and pretends they are their own LONGMAN DICTIONARY

The article title “The Genesis of the Social Network Giving Out Millions (STEEMIT)!” was copied from https://www.wired.com/story/the-social-network-doling-out-millions-in-ephemeral-money/ and I edited it by adding few words and emoji . A few minutes later after posting the article, the robot and some steemians saw it and flagged the article as plagiarized work. The article was removed and I loose the upvotes until I quickly edited it again by inserting the source so that the post could be unflagged. It was very embarrassing and shameful for me. I want to take this opportunity to APOLOGIZE to the entire community. I ask you to forgive me for the inconvenience caused and promise you it would not happen again.

I AM VERY SORRY ✅
FORGIVE ME ✅
IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN ✅
I HAVE LEARNT A LESSON ✅

I would like to advice my fellow steemians who engage in such act to desist from it since it is strongly prohibited in this community. You would not like what you would go through if you are caught in such act. I am fortunate my post was placed back. Also take notice that such act can lead to your account being banned.

KINDLY DESIST FROM PLAGIARISM. I DEVOTE MYSELF TO FIGHT PLAGIARISM IN THIS COMMUNITY AND HENCE FORTH I AM THE SELF APPOINTED PERSON IN THE COMMUNITY TO CHECK PLAGIARISM.

I encourage the software programmers in this community to create an app (application) or software that could prevent the posting of copied work. Please let us come together to programme a software to fight plagiarism. We can create software with a name like Steem Mywork ®, Steem OriginalWork ®, MyWork MyPost ® etc.

THANK YOU.

Kindly and let us fight against PLAGIARISM.
