The gif set that you just posted. The originals weren't made by you, right?

Giving the impression that their yours without regards to the person who made them isn't really a nice thing to do :S Maybe just edit with

Yeah. The originals weren't made by me. Oh, I didn't mean to make them appear as if the original were mine. I reblogged the original post

When you post them like that, just say you edited the original gifs. That way there is less confusion.
Nox

Because I've seen lots of gif posts without sources or are obvious edits of other gifs

So I'm so confused with gif etiquette. Do I need to ask the creator before I edit the gif, or can I edit it as long as I give credit?
Kaili

It's best to give credit regardless.

Ah ok. I'll edit the post now. Thank you. I'm so sorry.

It's alright. I pointed it out cause I figured you didn't know.
Manda Panda

But like Kaili said, yeah, if you're going to edit their works, def give credit regardless

I think I should put down the post first and contact the creator to apologize. I'm actually surprised with myself too for not even linking.

Yeah, just letting you know! And I think it'd be fine if you just edited the post.

I usually do, but I guess I overlooked it while I was posting it last night.

Yeah, editing should be fine

Yes. Thank you very much. But I'm really embarrassed because I hate it when people edit artwork without sourcing. I saw a Princess Tutu

Well, I can understand zerochan.net if the artist deletes the image or their account. I've seen a few cases of that.

Well, with gifs, a lot of times, makers watermark them. And as long as you don't get rid of those, it's all good.
Manda Panda

But when you're actually editing the gifs, that's when you should at least say who the source is, because otherwise it would default as you
