Sources and plagiarism
As for any type of document or project, it is important to cite the sources and authors. Due to the fact that Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, we should pay attention to everything because everybody can edit an article. Sometimes we don't think that plagiarism or close paraphrasing is a serious aspect. When I was in middle school, it happened to me to write some quotes without giving credit to the author. For example, I remember that I used Nelson Mandela's words on my Whatsapp status without citing him. It is crucial giving value to somebody's work. Some people believe that because it's online and affordable to anyone, we have the right to do whatever we want. Moillet (talk) 16:54, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Content gap
It is possible to find a content gap in several fields. It might occur because there is not enough research or information about that specific topic or it is difficult to find reliable sources. In addition, we tend to focus on the most dominant aspects without considering taking into account the minorities. Even if we try to narrow the content gap, there will always be some topics or parts that wouldn't be covered or faced. For example, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia therefore everybody can edit. While someone is editing, they have to be sure to cover not existent information or improve articles. Moillet (talk) 01:29, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

How to copy edit an article
Copy editing an article is consisting in checking and verifying if the chosen article has grammatical mistakes and if everything is all right. Furthermore, it is fundamental to make a summary edit every time we edit something in order to allow the author and the other editors to see and track which change we made.
