No, you didn't write it.
You simply copy pasted it from wikipedia and didn't give any source. That can be, and it is, considered plagiarism.
EDIT: And hey, I am not trying to pick on you or being a pain in the butt, just pointing you out on the right directions. Others might not have such a didactic approach.
Thank you for your teaching suggestion.
Here it works like this, these are your rules!
However, let me justify myself: Wikipedia is free of rights, it is free and depends on everyone's collaboration. Anyone can contribute to Wikipedia. It is a democratic contribution. It's very different from stealing a phrase from a book or other artistic medium.
It's not quite a complete copy. It is a definition of something, as synthetic as possible, and not the theft of any idea or artistic meaning.
If they consider it plagiarism, I just have to respect it. And since I failed, I can only apologize.
I've been here for just over 2 weeks, it's normal to make mistakes.
In any case, if they consider banning me from the community, I just have to respect it.
These are not my rules.
I've been here since 2017 and saw it all already, every type of behaviour, every type of excuses, every type of rhetoric. Countless times. Too many times.
I didn't say this wasn't a mistake or that you had any type of ill intention behind it. As I wrote above, I am trying to point you out on the right direction without you getting in trouble. Otherwise I would have quietly reported you myself.
Thank you for editing the post and adding the source on that second paragraph.
Yes, with help from wikipedia.
