While we all appreciate you taking time to share an interesting article you found, please do not copy and paste the bullet points from the top of DailyMail articles. Aside from the formatting being horrendous, it makes it difficult for any of us to promote the articles to the front page without heavily manipulating it.
When it comes to the DailyMail, they are a lot like us in that they are just finding news articles written by others. So 99 percent of their articles have source links to the original news articles -- use those instead. They are usually more accurate, have less misspellings and aren't written by someone who may have dementia.
The best and easiest way to share an article that does not involve you writing it yourself, is to simply follow @Sugar Cookie 's lead. Make a short summary (your own, or a short quote from the article that details the meat of the article - -never, ever the entire article), and a source link. That's it.
If you want to increase your chances of having an article promoted, attach an image to it (but do not hot link it from the source article).
This makes thing very simple, does not have me being contacted by these news outlets demanding I take down articles because they are "stolen" and makes it a hell of a lot easier for us to promote your articles to the front page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We have multiple threads and warnings about all of this everywhere, but I don't think anyone reads them or totally understands why we ask you do some of these things.
