Note
If you have questions after consulting this guide about how to cite, please contact your advisor/professor or the writing and communication center.
Why citing is important
It's important to cite sources you used in your research for several reasons:
To show your reader you've done proper research by listing sources you used to get your information
To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas
To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors
To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list
About citations
Citing a source means that you show, within the body of your text, that you took words, ideas, figures, images, etc. from another place.
Citations are a short way to uniquely identify a published work (e.g. book, article, chapter, web site). They are found in bibliographies and reference lists and are also collected in article and book databases.
Citations consist of standard elements, and contain all the information necessary to identify and track down publications, including:
author name(s)
titles of books, articles, and journals
date of publication
page numbers
volume and issue numbers (for articles)
Citations may look different, depending on what is being cited and which style was used to create them. Choose an appropriate style guide for your needs. Here is an example of an article citation using four different citation styles. Notice the common elements as mentioned above:
Author - R. Langer
Article Title - New Methods of Drug Delivery
Source Title - Science
Volume and issue - Vol 249, issue 4976
Publication Date - 1990
Page numbers - 1527-1533
American Chemical Society (ACS) style:
Langer, R. New Methods of Drug Delivery. Science 1990, 249, 1527-1533.
IEEE Style:
R. Langer, "New Methods of Drug Delivery," Science, vol. 249, pp. 1527-1533, SEP 28, 1990.
American Psychological Association (APA) style:

What to cite
You must cite:
Facts, figures, ideas, or other information that is not common knowledge
Ideas, words, theories, or exact language that another person used in other publications
Publications that must be cited include: books, book chapters, articles, web pages, theses, etc.
Another person's exact words should be quoted and cited to show proper credit
When in doubt, be safe and cite your source!
Avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when you borrow another's words (or ideas) and do not acknowledge that you have done so. In this culture, we consider our words and ideas intellectual property; like a car or any other possession, we believe our words belong to us and cannot be used without our permission.
Plagiarism is a very serious offense. If it is found that you have plagiarized -- deliberately or inadvertently -- you may face serious consequences. In some instances, plagiarism has meant that students have had to leave the institutions where they were studying.
The best way to avoid plagiarism is to cite your sources - both within the body of your paper and in a bibliography of sources you used at the end of your paper.

In an exam that would be acceptable, however un unofficial football whereby people offer their opinions it may not be needed ?
If you think it should why on earth have you wasted 7,500 posts in your spare time
Why don’t you tell your friends about the pesky posters of a football message board who don’t post links to a topic ( people like me just post for a bit of fun and have more important things to worry about )
Half the time I post off a cell phone which exacerbates the problem
Whoosh
Of course it is ??
I simply don't hide that fact , others simply compile responses in their own words dragged from the very same media outlets something I am honest about as I do struggle with composing eloquent responses in the correct grammar and details' .
Anyway back to the point and away from the goalpost move the detail I posted seem to show HGV shortage Europe not just the UK that has nothing to do with Brexit , do you have a eloquent view on why , I hope they weren't using cheap eastern European labour as well and now drivers want a fair wage and conditions ???????
Well said ( Pesky posters )who dare to offer impartial, different, or dare to challenge views of other posters .
Back to DVLA time they got back to work in my humble view, and helped others who are desperate to get a licence to earn some money instead of being held to ransom by those in work and earning , late night valley buses are still not back due to this appalling backlog .
Then take there Industrial Action . ( for the picky board one's see what I di for you with their )
It is about others not just a single entity of workers .
Whoosh all in my own poor grammar
So the article you selectively copied and pasted from that TBG helpfully posted using Transport Intelligence's figures the UK accounts for 25% of the overall lorry driver shortage across Europe. Yet the UK accounts for around 13% of the overall population of the EU/UK combined and even less if countries such as Norway who were part of your selective quote are included.
If you had quoted the article rather than cut bits out then others could have noted the conclusions from the body that produced the figures:
Logistics analysts Transport Intelligence told i: “The most heavily affected European countries are Poland, the UK and Germany. The UK is in a particularly difficult position as it is not only grappling with Brexit, but it also saw many European workers leave over the course of the pandemic, as fears over lockdowns grew.”
You may wish to note that its conclusions differ from yours that the particular UK shortage has nothing to do with Brexit, but bloody experts, what do they know?
It's not European drivers depressing wages, it's greedy companies lowering wages not just for HGV drivers but in basically every industry. I repeatedy get told by tories that billionaires are good for the country, how? Are wages improving? No. Are public services improving? No. Is debt improving? No.
Thought it was Brexit ?????
Tories are not in charge in Europe ??
The same depressing of wages exists In Europe ??
Sir don't worry Sir Kier will sort this and get job and wages sorted ??
There is a global inflation crisis ??
Economy /jobs every where under threat
$9 Trillion Global Fiscal Support
100 billion fund to rebuild Ukraine
Billions sent to arm Ukraine ?
How do you pay for the biggest spend social support since WW2 on covid which is running at £315 to £410 billion.
Fuel crisis
Who pays these massive costs .
Hopefully you can agree a lot of these events are not Tory driven and are unprecedented in our times since WW2 , and it cant be easy to plan for the future wherever you sit on the politcial spectrum and its very easy to say, oh that shit , your useless , scum , without coming up with your own constructive new ideas to move the country forward .
People with views across the political spectrum in this thread emphasise that attributing source material is important. Particularly if you are presenting it as your own. and especially as in the case with the I article. if you are selectively quoting the bits that support whatever point you are seeking to make and suppressing the bits you don't like.
So to initially answer your question. I have no idea if another view from another media outlet is made up or not as. apart from you perhaps selectively quoting bits of it, we have no way of telling. Perhaps you have been seduced by the gifted and talented gang you look up to who when challenged say, it's all there in the internet thingy, you just need to know where to look?
It might help you understand why sourcing material is important but then again nothing most people have said so far seems to have moved your dial!
Without saying too much the industry I work that is being badly hit by these backlogs and local bus companies cannot run full and late night bus services , which has badly effected one of my relatives and her job ,she simply cant afford the taxi fairs between Blackwood and Caerphilly .
Below are a view video's I spotted when asked my is there such a problem .

These are my views below : Whatever ones views are politically what we do know is :
The unit has thousands of employees that are local and brings wealth to the local community
Wales needs to keep the jobs ad not give government a reasons to shut them down as we have seen in other cities/jobs like Liverpool
The job loss would be far bigger that just the 6k at DVLA ,as it has support business locally probably up to 10k impact
It has seen a lot of industrial action over the years ?
No one is denying the free right to strike ( but not know, just smells of taking advantage in a key moment, whilst other suffer )
We need to get these licences out so folk can go about their business's and life after so much despair in the last two years .
