Here is a basic setup of how to post a news article from another site along with some rules to follow.

You're probably wondering why this is needed and why it should be done. A news post needs to be posted correctly to keep DSiHacks out of trouble with the source author (website), so I hope these guidelines help you to post your news articles in the correct manner.

Some basic guidelines:

• - Link only to official root sources.

• - If the source you found is quoting another source then trace it back as far you can, use that last site that you traced back as the source

• - If the official root source is not in english, quote it along with the translation which may be obtained from another site, but do not direct link to that site only mention it as the source for the translation.

• - Add any pictures or videos if necessary. (all news articles should contain at least 1 picture or video)

• - Add your opinions if you have any after you make the quote and make sure they are clearly separated with a line for instance.

• -Please NO DIRECT LIVE LINKS unless it is the Root Source.

• if not the root source... the source name with no live link will suffice, and no need to make it bold

Heres a basic setup of how it should look.




1. Title of article.


2. Add picture after title.


3. Then Quote the news story.

Quote

Quote of news story here
If you copy and paste a news story then it must be in quotes

If you are creating your own news story, then the quotes are not needed.


4. Add source like this -
Source: dsihacks.net (direct link to root source)
or
Source: dsihacks.net (if this is not the root source)

------------------------------------------------------------

5. Opinion
This is my opinion, a line should be used to break up your opinion from the quote. An opinion is optional.
