in re plagiarism and citation and people not knowing how to do it
in the capstone class of my MASTER's degree, I had to do a group paper with fellow students who had all done 6+ years of collegiate study to get there
we shared drafts of our portions and they had no citations and i was like???? and they were like "it's a draft i'll put the citations in at the end" and i was like ???????
because by the time you're done writing the thing you're not going to remember what you got where and whether you synthesized information together! this is how "i thought i thought of it" plagiarism cases occur!!!!
anyway i told them at the bare minimum any time they referenced a numerical figure they needed to cite it, and since it was a paper on accounting fraud that mostly worked out. but i could tell they were citing stuff simply because i'd told them to cite where numbers came from, because they didn't bother to cite some non-numerical things that definitely needed it.
anyway this is why when you have classes that have multiple assignments for a paper to teach you how to write it, annotated bibliography comes before drafting. because you're supposed to have your sources and know what's in them when you start writing.
to current college students: PLEASE put the citations in as you're writing not as you're editing. i know it seems like a pita especially if you don't know the formatting well, but that's what tools like Purdue Owl are for. Tell it what citation format you're supposed to use, what kind of source you have, fill in the fields and it will format the citation for you.
The reason you shouldn't cite Wikipedia is because it's just a bunch of compiled information from other places- well-cited information. It's always best to get as close as possible to a primary source, so you don't want to use Wikipedia literally just for that reason. And like I said, they cite all their sources and it's really, really easy to find that source because it's right there, so the clear course of action would be to go to that source and cite it instead.
Vraiment une très bonne idée, merci beaucoup ! =D ♥

Hello les gens 👋 J’espère que vous vous portez bien à cette mi-janvier !
J’avais évoqué dans une réponse d’un post de @gainsb0ro l'existence d’un fichier partagé avec @zuzcreation où je notais (quand j’y pensais) des textes pour ensuite pouvoir les réutiliser sur des avatars (ou autre).
Depuis ce jour, j’y ai pas mal songé et j’ai finalement décidé de transformer ce tableur moche en un tumblr un peu plus ludique 😂 mais surtout qui puisse être ouvert à tout le monde, aussi bien pour la lecture que la contribution ! Bref, @lesbeauxmots est là !
On l’a rempli d’une centaine de textes pour le moment et on va continuer de le remplir petit à petit.
J’espère vraiment que l’idée vous plaira et que vous en verrez l’utilité 😊 et qui sait, des contributions et des volontaires pour participer 🥳
N’hésitez pas à partager l’information autour de vous (#poucebleu #abonnetoi #activelacloche), le but c’est que ça serve et que ça soit diversifié 🤗 (genre tout le monde n’a pas le même amour pour les années 80 que moi et je comprends parfaitement 🤭)

“ - I’m fine. - That’s crap. Keeping everything you’re going through inside, shutting out the people who love you. That’s not dealing, that’s hiding. You and I, we don’t have the luxury of ignoring our emotions, hoping they’ll just go away. That bites people like us in the ass. The only way you’re gonna get through this is to let yourself feel every heartbreaking, gut-wrenching part of it. ”
