Edit: Apparently after an email, being told my post is plagiarized, and putting out this post, now my previous post is no longer plagiarized and back up....
I wrote a post a few days ago and was deleted and flagged as plagiarized content.

I republished content I had made on Steemit before. That post on Steemit did not get flagged or downvoted for having plagiarized content since they do have bots that will leave a comment to warn others that the content is plagiarized. I had clearly stated it was a republished post, cited sources, and did not take credit and try to pass it off as my own work.

Here is a paragraph I wrote myself:
Made up of hundreds of tiny cells connected by wires, on a stretchy silicone substrate. The wires are dubbed “a spring within a spring.” The wires stretch but never come taut. When the tension and flexion is relaxed, the battery returns to its original size and shape. Contains antenna and circuitry that also use the stretchy wires to be charged wirelessly through induction. Also consists of standard Lithium-ion cells, packed within a protective silicone sheath. Withstood 20 charge/discharge cycles and had very little loss in capacity. The battery life lasts about 8 to 9 hours.
If you copy and paste that into a google search, this is what comes up:
I was notified in a email that my post was a copy and paste composite from a few other posts and referred to the Extremetech link as one I plagiarized from.
Here is the paragraph from Extremetech:
This new stretchy battery, however, is made up of hundreds of tiny cells, connected by wires, on a stretchy silicone substrate. As you can see in the diagram above, the cells themselves are basically standard lithium-ion cells, packed within a protective silicone sheath. The wires, however, are fairly magical. Dubbed “a spring within a spring,” (pictured below) the wires gracefully stretch but never become taut, even when the battery is stretched to three times its original size. “We call this ordered unraveling,” says Yonggang Huang of Northwestern University. When tension and flexion are relaxed, the battery returns to its original shape and size.

I had to explain how something works that I did not create so naturally I would use some of the same words that was used to explain. It is not word from word, copy/paste. Otherwise it would be in the same placement and paragraphs if I plagiarized and copy and pasted.
According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to "plagiarize" means:
- to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
- to use (another's production) without crediting the source
- to commit literary theft
- to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
So I am curious as to why they are trying to convince me it's plagiarized...
