@OP:

Next time you copy someone else's work, please provide the source from which the reference was copied. They call it attribution.
Where did i say it was my work? In a hurry to label the thread as copied, you forgot to read comment no 6 on this thread, where after someone commended me for the nice post, i replied that it was copied! Did you not see that? Or did you just post for posting sake? Na wa o!

I copy jokes off the internet and paste on the jokes section, have i ever attributed them as mine? Do i have to reference all the jokes i copy? This is just another copied joke. Shame on you for not noticing that! wink

BTW, here is the link to the jokes so far. . .  Enjoy a good joke and forget your "i too sabi" wink

it's amazing the kind of trash that makes its way to nairaland front page these days - this piece has been over the internet for the past five years, and somebody has just copied and pasted it today and it becomes front page material. The so called "moderators" should be more selective and discerning when making front page choices if they want this website to remain relevant   embarassed lipsrsealed undecided kiss

Exactly my point. You do not wait for someone to commend you about the posting before you reply that you copied it. You are supposed to cite the source at the moment you posted someone else's work. Even though you admitted to copying the jokes from somebody else, you failed to provide the source from which you copied it.

And you do not have to directly attribute someone else's work as yours to commit plagiarism. You commit plagiarism when you fail to give credit to work that was not yours.

Since you are most likely a product of Nigeria's failed educational system, you believe it is proper to copy jokes from someone else's website, post it on Nairaland,  and fail to give attribution to the source as long as you don't state that it was your own work. That thinking is flawed, my brother, and in civilized societies you could be expelled from school and be guilty of the act plagiarism or, even more serious, copyright infringement.

Just take this as a learning experience and move on. This is because next time you post something, no one will know whether it was copied from another source or whether it was your own work product. There is a presumption that a literary work without citation is the work product of the person who wrote or posted it.
