| Jun 20, 2012 at 0:57 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Whether or not it's good to use blockquotes for anything but quoting should perhaps be asked as a separate question here on meta... | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 18:18 | comment | added | Mateo | I'm not sure, it was a bit confusing. I thought it was just for quoting. could be wrong | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 16:04 | comment | added | Anwar | @mateo_salta Oh, I never thought block-quote is for only quoting, i used them for formatting. I also edited some to look good with block-quote. is it bad? | |

| Jun 19, 2012 at 12:46 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | @Mitch A simple out of context block quote from a site is not an answer, that was the main point of the comments I sent to you, the information should be copied, should be adapted to fit the site as an answer and the source of the information should be always included in any answer you create based on another source. | |

| Jun 19, 2012 at 11:17 | comment | added | Mitch | @BrunoPereira you said to "Copy the information from the website linked and place it here using your own words." to me that is plagiarism. So by linking the site, and using block-quote for the information copied is the way not to plagiarize. Right? | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 8:48 | comment | added | lgarzo | @AnwarShah Isn't that a dupe question already? I'd flag it as such. | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 8:41 | comment | added | Anwar | I was asking what is the case, if i give my words in several answers. though i try to link to that also, sorry for not being clear first | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 8:39 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | @AnwarShah you need to quote the source. If you copied something those words are not yours and the correct source should be quoted at least. Don't make the site a field of copied information from the internet, we should be trying to improve the internet, don't copy the bad examples of internet usage! | |
| Jun 19, 2012 at 8:33 | comment | added | Anwar | What about answers, which i gave to serveral questions, thinking they may proved useful. Is it correct? | |
