Someone has to explain to me exactly what we should have done differently here.
I'll give it a shot. What you should have done, in my opinion, is just provide a link alongside a one-line summary, along the lines of "Here's an article we found fascinating."
If the article you are writing is based on a single source, it's not an article-- it's a paraphrase.
We work immensely had to product original content as well as link to original sources when deserved...this case was absolutely no different.
so, which was this? It was more than a link, but it surely doesn't qualify as "original content" by any stretch of the imagination.
- amouat 14y ago> it's not an article-- it's a paraphrase If they had bothered to paraphrase, it would have been much better. They didn't - they just copied.
