WikiQueer:Training/Newcomers/Copyright and plagiarism

Although the importance of copyright and plagiarism issues may vary by country, WikiQueerians working on the English WikiQueer take copyright issues very seriously. In short, don't cut and paste content from other places into WikiQueer, even on sandbox pages. If you're paraphrasing a source, be careful to fully rewrite it in your own words. Avoid "close paraphrasing" that essentially copies the structure of the source and simply rewords it phrase by phrase.
