Request 1: What does the phrase "appropriately referenced" mean in the text "There are various ways to avoid plagiarism. The first way is to ensure that source you use in doing a piece of writing must be appropriately referenced according to its type: book, website, periodical, etc."?

Response 1: The phrase "appropriately referenced" means to give credit to the original source of information or ideas that have been used in a piece of writing. This can be done by citing the source in a specific format, depending on the type of source (book, website, periodical, etc.) used. By referencing the source appropriately, the writer is acknowledging the contribution of the original author or creator and avoiding plagiarism, which is the act of presenting someone else's work or ideas as one's own without proper attribution.

A good explanation, with the useful addition of why referencing the source appropriately is important.

Request 2: Please translate your answer into German.

Response 2: Die Phrase "angemessen referenziert" bedeutet, dass die Quelle von Informationen oder Ideen, die in einem Schreibstück verwendet wurden, korrekt angegeben wird. Dies kann durch das Zitieren der Quelle in einem bestimmten Format erfolgen, abhängig von der Art der verwendeten Quelle (Buch, Webseite, Zeitschrift usw.). Durch eine angemessene Referenzierung wird der Beitrag des ursprünglichen Autors oder Schöpfers anerkannt und Plagiat vermieden, was die Präsentation der Arbeit oder Ideen einer anderen Person als die eigenen ohne angemessene Zuschreibung ist.

The German translation is as good as it could be.
