I don't know why these respectable users are wasting their time with you. From your past history, you have proven to be, to say bluntly, a downright terrible person.

For one thing, we try to keep our wording as neutral and factual as possible, because we're an encyclopaedia; when using an emotional source like the ''Daily Mail'', that involves quite a bit of toning down, but the facts and figures speak for themselves. Secondly and more importantly, we don't use long quotes if we can possibly avoid it, and always mark them off very explicitly (either inverted commas or an absolutely clear text device such as the <nowiki><blockquote></nowiki> tag). We have to be absolutely scrupulous about copyright - with no "fair use" wiggle room for wording - because everything on Misplaced Pages is available for reuse by anyone for any purpose, with very limited and specific exceptions for some files. So it isn't like academic publishing or even journalism. See ] and its links for full details, and ] for writing guidelines. In addition, encyclopaedic writing summarises.

Quotes

Hi: Thanks for the addition to Rape in Pakistan. However, I shortened and reworded it quite a bit. For one thing, we try to keep our wording as neutral and factual as possible, because we're an encyclopaedia; when using an emotional source like the Daily Mail, that involves quite a bit of toning down, but the facts and figures speak for themselves. Secondly and more importantly, we don't use long quotes if we can possibly avoid it, and always mark them off very explicitly (either inverted commas or an absolutely clear text device such as the <blockquote> tag). We have to be absolutely scrupulous about copyright - with no "fair use" wiggle room for wording - because everything on Misplaced Pages is available for reuse by anyone for any purpose, with very limited and specific exceptions for some files. So it isn't like academic publishing or even journalism. See this page and its links for full details, and this page for writing guidelines. In addition, encyclopaedic writing summarises. One reason we have references is so the reader can go look up the full story, or seek information on some aspect we didn't cover. So please, next time, summarise. Thanks!
