It is that simple.
Even if you do not take a sentence directly but paraphrase it to make it read differently but the meaning is the same, you still need to reference the work to used.
You admit harvesting data from another sites and you apologized for that. Fine, that is cool. But saying you are still using those data to generate your own data shows how ignorant you are.

This is what I try to explain in the last 10 posts: I am NOT going to use the data from other sites to generate the reviews because I need it in another format. I wanted to have all those reviews to see the rules. When you write a letter you have a certain format for it as: the beggining, the content and the end, eventually the postscriptum. The same rules apply for the reviews and you can not formalize the rule if you have only one sample.
I hope that things are clear now.
