Can you please refrain from quoting full news articles from other websites? I don't mind you quoting snippets, but if you do this, please add the source of the quote.

Also if there is a news article you wish to quote, please check whether the article is on the football.co.uk website first before quoting. It is not necessary to quote other websites if we hold the same news story here.

Thanks
Shane

ok .....can we all please remember the new rule about quoting from other websites . As stated by O Dogg above , if you do have to quote an article ......full or only part of it ......please name the source . I have had to send PM`s to a few members who have forgotten this in their posts , this rule applies to everyone ...even admin and mods so try to make sure it is followed .

Thank You

Post the whole link as that would be the proper citation for any work quoted.

Quote:
Quote the excerpt like this


Then provide the source. Best way to avoid plagiarism.
