Plagiarism Lines Blur For Students In The Digital Age by Trip Gabriel is an article explaining the recent rise of plagiarizing students. Most of these students reported did so willingly knowing it was wrong. Some believe that if it's on the internet and there is no author listed, like on wikipidea for example, it is common knowledge and does not need to be cited. However this is not true and they still need to be cited. You still need to give credit where credit is due. If you need a bit of help here's a picture for ya, 
This is what you don't do. You have to give credit to those who helped you with your work. Simply taking out bits and chunks and tweaking it doesn't work. Its like making a meal and simply saying the name instead of saying whats in it. You just can't do it because people will hesitate to try. Same with plagiarism, if you put all this info in and don't credit your sources people will hesitate to trust your information and you can get in a lot of trouble for it. Kicked out of school even.
