Title: News Contribut(ions)ers (please read)
Tuesday May 11, 2004
Your news/article contributions provide a great resource to all members of our community.
We welcome news information on this site that has anything of interest to members of the community. If you would like to post news, general or specific information please read the following.
Yes this site has been remiss in recent past on the way it publishes news articles sourced from other websites and news outlets. We would like everyone to follow the current protocol of ensuring reference to the quoted source, and most importantly to not copy paste more than sufficient material to provide a quick synopsis of the referenced news/article.
BASICS
* Ensure news/articles source is referenced
* Do not copy paste complete articles
HOW
* Reference Original Author (if known)
* Reference Main Site of news/article
* Reference specific page (if possible)
* BLOG
WHY
* Common courtesy
* Professional courtesy
* Some people actually get paid for their work, let's support them ?
* A lot of the articles posted here in the past is probably copyrighted
** HOW
=========================
Reference Original Author (if known)
-------------------------------------
Most articles are published by some human some where, if they put their monika to the article, please go ahead and use it when referring/using the article.
Reference Main Site of news/article
-------------------------------------
Please put a reference to the original article's website (e.g. http://www.nomoa.com)
Reference specific page (if possible)
-------------------------------------
Even better, if you have the specific page of the article that would be much better placed.
BLOG
-------------------------------------
The simplest approach to referencing news articles on the site is to reference it as is done by many 'blogs' on the Internet.
The general 'blog' approach, I've seen, for referencing an article somewhere else on the Internet goes something like this:
a) you read the article
b) you write a small opinion on the article
c) you refer readers to the article to make their own conclusions
(including web link)

** WHY
=========================
Common Courtesy:
-------------------------------------
It is usually considered bad manners to rip out somebodies work and present it as if it is your own work.
I know I haven't liked it when I've seen my work copied without reference on some other sites on the Internet.
Professional Courtesy:
-------------------------------------
Most news publications beig referenced on this site can afford to keep the news coming because they sell advertisement related to the number of 'hits' web connections they get. I had disruptions of advertising but it does pay the bills and allow those organisations to keep putting news up that let's you enjoy them and share with your friends.
Of course, if they were like us they wouldn't be getting paid since we are a true community of sharing.
Paid Work:
-------------------------------------
Some people actually dependent on their news gathering and writing for a living. If their employer can't make money from their work then these people are disadvantaged also. Let's support the people from where we get our news, if it's a website tell people where they can read more of the article.
Copyright:
-------------------------------------
Most of the work referenced externally are copyrighted, and in many countries the rights of copyright is legally assigned as belonging to the writer/publisher unless otherwise given away by the author/publisher.
Of course, feedback is always welcome on these things.
