Great compilation and important advice for all Newbies.
Especially plagiarism is very easy to avoid.
In addition, I'm sometimes of the impression that some shameless Merit grab "presentations" of interesting topics are done intentionally, where the original content is just copy pasted from a source or a few parts modified and the content therefore "appears" to be unique but the source links are hidden below.
When a Merit source isn't reading that content or sending a Merit in advance but the fact that it's not original content, it's some sort shameless Merit fishing in my opinion
That's not plagiarism of course but an attempt to hide the fact that the content is mostly copied from somewhere else.
Therefore: when presenting content which is very close to an existing source, always add a statement in advance about its origin.
Personally, I skip such mislabled "unique presentations" and distribute my Merit elsewhere.
Presenting unique content is king.
