For posting any news or any articles:

- One must cite the source and to contribute the link of the online URL. The news that do not contain any sources or any URLs will be erased without prior notice.

- It will suffice with putting the title and a brief statement of the news or with a pair of paragraphs.

-The content will go inside the labels of appointment [ / (end) quote]

Another thing,

As much as possible, the articles that we post should be that of The Philippines and its interests.

International news not concerning our country nor The Filipino people should be posted elsewhere, if not create and an international thread in The Samahan section.

Addendum:

It's fine to post a paragraph or two from an article, and then a link to the complete thing. That falls under "fair use" Posting five paragraphs is a bit much. Posting the entire thing is bad.

Word needs to be spread all over the site about this so that no one can complain that they "didn't know"
