BLOG, quoting sources
Truth Serum copied a number of entire articles in the comments section. I deleted them. Here's why.
When quoting a writer you're obligated not to take the whole piece. How much can you take? You should quote no more than 10% and no more than four paragraphs. (Try to keep it to two or less.)
Also you should provide a link to the original source.
Aside from the strictly legal aspect of this--copyright laws, y'know--it makes your stuff read better if you explain why something is important and pull out a money quote or two.
As for making links, I'm not good at explaining it, but here's how it's explained at the dkosopedia.
I've created a set of house rules. I'll link to them from the sidebar.
