Credit is allowed as stated in the rules and as I've explained in private messages to you. There are some restrictions because of abuse, but credit is given.
In addition there are times when people will post an article trying to give the impression it is their article. Many times research has been done to determine the actual author and the actual author is then given credit rather than to allow the impression that someone is the author who actually isn't.
Appropriate action is then taken with the person who made the post who wasn't the actual author.
