Copyvio and plagiarism

Hi! I'm the content expert for your class and I recently received a notification that you had added content taken from another source to the article for cyberterrorism. Some of this was a false positive, as you were specifically listing definitions by major organizations - which would make sense to quote word for word in their entirety. However later in the page you take a section word for word from this journal article. While some of it is a list, you did take several sentences word for word, which is seen as a copyright violation and plagiarism, even if this was not your intent. Please be cautious when using material from another place and make sure to write it in your own words unless you are using this content as a direct quote.

Just in case, I would like you to review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 08:57, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
