MEA CULPA

# I am to blame! I was wrong! I am guilty!

***

I have often seen this Latin phrase translated as **_through no fault_** but the above translations are more accurate, because the emphasis is that **_I_** (**_mea_**) am taking on the blame. In this case **_I_** am guilty!

So what did I do wrong? Of what am I guilty? Don't panic, friends. I have not committed any crime or knowingly wronged anyone, but I did realize just in time that I had **_self-plagiarized_**! “How on earth can one plagiarize one's own work?” you may rightly ask! Well, I am glad you did ask!

**_Self-plagiarism_** occurs when you fail to mention that your work is published elsewhere. So there you have it! Yesterday I cross-posted on both [Steemit](https://steemit.com/sublimesunday/@dmcamera/i-love-to-go-a-wandering) and [Weku](https://deals.weku.io/community-deals/@dmcamera/i-love-to-go-a-wandering) and forgot to mention that I was making a similar post elsewhere. Luckily, the posts are new, so I was able to quickly make the change needed on each post to avoid the ethical problem of **_self-plagiarism_**!

Please note that when you make your second post with the note that it is published elsewhere, you will also need to access the first post and make the same statement! I hope this will help you in your further decisions to cross-post the same or similar material!

Interesting to know this cross-posting rule about self-plagiarism! And it’s creative of you to make that “my bad”  note on top of the fortune cookie messages. :) How’s your experience on Weku? I’ve heard it a lot these days but haven’t tried it yet.

Thanks so much for stopping by  and commenting! Self-plagiarism is not just for cross-posting. It is a rule learned in all college English classes that you must always make it clear that you have published the same material elsewhere!

As for Weku, it is early days yet, but I'm finding it very enjoyable, as I don't get lost in the shuffle as much as I do on Steemit. The coins are not yet trading, so it is hard to tell if our "earnings" will amount to much. I do think they will, as there is a very deliberate effort to try to learn from all Steemit's mistakes and to crack down hard on spammers and those plagiarizing right from the start!

That's great to know. Spamming and plagiarizing are indeed serious problems here on Steemit!

Many people are doing it. I don't agree, see no point in posting the same content more than once. 
This article however is helpful.

@dmcamera · Oct 15 '18

I had decided not to cross-post, but then decided to experiment a little. I have some new followers on Weku that I don’t have in Steemit, and I also have followers on Steemit who are not on Weku. So, I do see the point to a certain degree. 

I imagine that those on both platforms will respond only where they first saw the post, which is fine. On the other hand, I have still tesponded to others on both platforms, sometimes following a totally different train of thought. 

The jury is still out for me. I may not continue beyond the first little experiment, or I may!!😊

That’s a good choice too. I thought I did see you over there, but must be mistaken. So many of the people I know are there. For the time being at least, it is very refreshing, as it is much easier for posts to be seen. But time will tell!
