voiceforpeace, I like this story. It's good stuff.

Hi voiceforpeace the bottom half of this story seems to be copied from http://www.paktribune.com/news/index.shtml?199308
You need to make it clear which parts are your own words and which are not.

Yes Vinny is right. Please use the highlight tool, or clearly indicate where you found the material in your piece.

Voiceforpeace, this and at least one other story have sections that are direct copy and pastes from other sources.
You need to be very clear where the information is coming from, otherwise it looks like plagiarism.

I am sorry for the mistake, but I have still learning the correct methods of sending the story. Actually in Pakistan most of the newspapers have been taking materials from one antoher. It is not the original story of Pak Tribune. I take meterials from various sources. But give me time till when I learn the correct method. I am try to mention the source from which I have been taking the meterial.
Thank you very much for guiding me to the correct method.

Hi voiceforpeace I don't why you don't just use the highlight tool to show what parts of your post are from other sites. I see on your latest post you have copied an entire article from the Nation, while I accept you have mentioned them in the post it still would be much better if you used the highlight tool and did not copy the entire copyrighted article.I again offer you my help if you need it for using the highlight tool. Regards Vinny

Thank you very my dear Vinny, I shall certainly be needing your help. Now I have decided to rely on own meterials instead of using the others. But sometime some news catch my attention.
Dear Vinny, again thank you very much for offering the help. I shall be very grateful I you may guide me. I just want to share some hidden and interesting news with you.
A lot of thanks

Hi Voice for Peace, again, as in my earlier note to you, also feel free to contact me for help with Highight tool. A note: although you say that newspapers, etc. routinely copy from each other, international copyright covenants prohibit that.
Outside of legal stuff, it's confusing to readers when they look at your pieces and think that you wrote it all and it's original work. And, it's also, frankly, insulting to other members who write original content. When a Good Stuff flag is given for work that's actually done by others on other publications and presented as original material, it creates negativity and unhappiness.
As you've been with us for awhile, I'm sure that the Highlight Tool is something that you will find as easily adaptable for your use. You navigate this system very well, actually! :)
Where are you, BTW?

Dear PEP
Thank you very much for your kind advice. In future I shall concentrate on my own areas. I have been trying to learn the highlight method. I shall overcome this problem very soon. Again thank you very much for your kind advice. I belong to a very backward areas. I have been learning something while remaining attached with you people. You have given me a good advice. I am really grateful to you.
