- > but isn't deletion overkill?
- As explained in comments, I deleted the post because the text is verbatim copied from two posts, which were published under the cc by-sa license, but you did not include the necessary attribution and you confirmed in comments that you are also not the author of these posts. This means reposting the text here violates the original license.
- > Can't it be saved?
- Yes, you could have added the required attribution. This would not have made a good post, but at least it would no longer violate the original license of the posts you copied from. I intentionally waited a day before deleting, but unfortunately you did not add the required attribution.
- > A moderator can simply add the necessary citations.
You posted the plagiarised post. It is nobodies job but yours to make sure the necessary attribution is present.
