Attribution, Copyright and Web Etiquette
Generally, you should always include a source link to any content that is not yours. For example, commercial and creative content might be protected by copyright, and you might receive a DCMA Copyright Notice from the content owner if you do not adhere to the proper credit guidelines for their work. Even if the content is not copyrighted, many consider it unethical to post content without sources, since viewers might believe that you created it yourself.
Copy and Paste Content
One of the fastest ways to remove a source from content is by highlighting a post without the source attributions and copying it. Open your Tumblr Dashboard and press “New Post.” Paste the content into the editor and click “Publish.”

If you wish to remove these attributions, simply highlight the source text in the post editor and delete them.

When you reblog a post, you can delete the source attribution in the text editor, then press “Reblog Post.”

Visit your Tumblr dashboard and click “Customize.” Choose “Edit HTML” and paste the following code into the editor, before the {/block:Posts} tag:
