Dude. He did quote it (using " ") Not providing the source (wikipedia) is different from trying to get the credit for it.

This is NOT plagiarism.

was trying to report a user for plagiarism but seeing the above post has left me at a cross road. So does this mean one is safe if he/she uses (" ") ~~quotation marks~~ without providing the source? TBH these are the same posts getting merit yet are not adhering to the rules of the forum.

"Three small lapel badges of the Royal Arch Purple Degree, that depict a 2½ number within an arch as its emblem. The number 2½ represents the biblical tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh who helped lead the people of Israel across the river Jordan to the Promised Land.

The Royal Arch Purple Degree were founded 1795 at Loughall in County Armagh and continued as part of the Orange Order. They are a Protestant fraternal organisation predominantly based in Northern Ireland but also with many Lodges in Scotland. Some Lodges were also founded in the US and amongst the Commonwealth countries.

The badge's elements are the Royal Arch with the number 2½, an eye, snake and a star."
