Please use your own words as much as possible

Please use your own words as much as possible when writing Wikipedia articles. Some of the wording used in the article about the Murder of Elizabeth McCabe is possibly a [[close paraphrasing of this BBC report according to Earwig's Copyvio Detector. I understand that there are often only a limited number of ways that you can say things, and often you will want to express something that you find in a media report in a similar way, to convey the same meaning, but as Wikipedia is creative writing you need to demonstrate your own creativity by writing and retelling the story in your own way, not simply rewriting what others have said. While close paraphrasing is only a possibility in this case, please be aware that close paraphrasing can sometimes be interpreted as plagiarism or even outright Copyright violations. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:21, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
