I don't get referencing. What happens if you have a unique thought about something? How do you reference that?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago

You're supposed to reference if:

  1. You are repeating or paraphrasing something you found elsewhere

OR

  1. You are making an assertion of fact (in which case you should be referencing something that shows Proofs)

If you have a unique thought then you shout it from the skies and get a book deal.
