Hello guys, it is crazy how I intentionally got myself a cheetah comment just for this post, taking a closer look at the post I made just before this you will notice the famous cat on steemit paid me a courtesy visit, this was simply due to the fact that the post contains similar content to that on Wikipedia, which was actually my source.

@Cheetah is more like the teacher that identifies copied assignments and may likely punish you later in the future if you do not stop the act. She’s a robot created by Hive account@anyx with the major aim of identifying contents in the steemit community that are similar to contents in other sites.

She majorly comments and upvote such contents, for more information about cheetah follow the link FAQ about Cheetah

So today I am going to be giving a quick guild on how to avoid cheetah comment on your post even after stating your source.

GUIDE

1. Ensure you properly read through all the content you intend to use on the site, to be on a safer side, do not get all your reference from one site.

2. After reading through, try to get an understanding of all what the content is about and how the site presents it.

3. Go to your notepad or any other text editor and write a summary of all you intend to get from the site
   Ensure you write the summary in your own words, you can substitute sentence like – “I saw all of them at the event” with – “they all were present at the event” NOTE: doing that for an entire article would still be plagiarism even if it wasn't a word for word copy or something that Hive account@cheetah would catch.

4. After writing your summary ensure you use any plagiarism checker i.e. to check the uniqueness of your work, and ensure its 100% unique before posting.

5. and just before posting, Ensure you clearly state you source for both images and factual statements and use the block quote markdown for citations.

Note: steemit community supports only unique contents, so ensure contents from other sites are only for reference purpose!
