Hi all, There is a good article on the Daily Mail website about Mary-Jess' trip to China. Some of you may already have seen it but I thought it deserved to be included here for posterity! A couple of nice pics are inluded! Link: dailymail.co.ukKen |

Thanks Ken,
I haven't seen it before, a brilliant article with some lovely pictures.
China looks like a beautiful country that I would love to visit myself one day, I love travelling but have yet to venture much further than Italy.

Hi Dazza,
What would you prefer we do with articles like that? Should we copy and paste them to this forum or merely post a link? If the latter, I fear that, should they disappear from source, they would be forever lost unless we preserve them here. I am happy to do the honours if you like.
Cheers,
Ken

Hi Ken, It is up to you how you wish to post articles. Usually when I post articles on a forum I usually copy and paste into a quote as well as leaving a link to the source. An example HERE. This actually shows the link has expired too but the article can still be read so it is a good idea. Thanks Dazza |

Good question. My articles often find their way on to websites and forums, and personally, it annoys me when people post the whole article - I've worked hard on it and it's supposed to bring people to my site so they can discover other artists. Posting a whole article is, in a sense, "stealing" traffic. It's proper practice with other people's work to post a snippet of the article and then a link saying 'Read the full article here...' When it comes to publications like the Daily Mail - it's probably less of an issue. The whole internet quotes their whole article as soon as its published. With lesser known publications I would suggest asking permission as it is technically copyright infringement. And don't think you won't be discovered - as soon as someone clicks on your link to their article, that website can see the referral link straight to your post.  Most people never chase it up - but I do sometimes. It depends on the article, where it's posted and on the manner of the posting. |

Thanks Dazza. I was about to post the article but, in view of Nicola's comment, I guess we will leave things as they are.  Cheers, Ken. |

If it's the Dailymail - just post the whole thing. They really won't care.

Hi Ken,
I can see Nicola's view, she works hard writing an article which she wants people to read it on her website and not someone else's.
For the most part, when I have posted articles in the past they have always been from national and local newspapers or sites like BBC News, I have always included the name of the author and linked to the source, as shown in my example.
However for sites like Classical Crossover, I would always post a link to that website rather than post the article which I have already done on this forum in the Why Classical Crossover thread.
As this thread has now gone way off topic from the original article, feel free to start a new thread, with either just the link or part of the article quoted, and I will edit the title of this thread and move it to the 'Suggestions' section of the forum.
