Hello my football lovers. Today am very happy to make my entry on the validation post to our beloved world of football community. My post today will be covering some few areas and i will start of by talking about what i intend to create in this great community. I hope to get your support @njaywan @booming01 ![3C23CB6E-91B9-443C-9C98-411C48E3B776.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeSz5N9a1UHmBn2FAwaFN8TvuBd8xna5pDrzma4LPo2hk/3C23CB6E-91B9-443C-9C98-411C48E3B776.jpeg) **_What i intend to create in this community_** For a great fun of football my task will be very simple. I intend to write more about match previews, participate in match prediction challenges and also to compete more in contests. I intend to add much as possible if i can to this great community to make it more fun and entertaining as always. In doing this i have understood what content etiquette is and i will try as much as possible to follow these basic principles. **_Content Etiquette_** These are the basic rules and regulations a member should follow when writing a post. Basically in every community there are rules you must follow to write post and even to join a contest. Content etiquette is what guides as members to be very effective and not stray away from the basic rules. This means we must avoid plagiarism and copyright when we write our post. ![E82AF347-AFEC-48C9-82BA-69A8E484B6B9.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV5CFpasL1gLJBceCZQUcko8RbrfuWeKTstdCXcckggD5/E82AF347-AFEC-48C9-82BA-69A8E484B6B9.jpeg) [source](http://cargocollective.com/samtarpey/filter/Craft/Thinking-Type-Sagmeister-on-Miedinger) **_Plagiarism_** As a newbie to steemit, when writing your achievements, plagiarism is one of the topics you should learn more about and write on. From my achievement 3 post, I explained that plagiarism is stealing and using someones work for your own personal gain. This act is frowned soo much in our world of football community. You can read more on plagiarism from my achievement 3 post below.[my achievement 3](https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@thirdeye7771/achievement-3-by-thirdeye7771-task-content-etiquette)Another bad habit that goes against the rules and regulations of this great community is copyright. **_Copyright_** Similar to plagiarism copy right is the legal right given to a producer or a owner to be able to own and produce an item, be it , music, videos, or images in other to make profit or for personal interests. So this means is the legal right protecting an author to own his product. There are copyright free images you can use for your articles from sites like _creativecommons_,_stocksnap_, _pixabay_ and a few more. I will now be showing a step by step procedure on how to get copyright free images. **_Step 1_** **Go to https://www.google.com** ![C8B2F2B3-C857-4521-B785-FEFDCEA404F9.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQfysvRnNmCNAKGJJnqM4LX9gmENCygGKJWjD6LfT1FhX/C8B2F2B3-C857-4521-B785-FEFDCEA404F9.png) **_Step 2_** **For instance we want to use a picture of Jesse Lingard.
