+=== Quoting From an External Site ===
+If you copy and paste text from another website in a forum message, please keep in mind the following statement from our [[https://thelitforum.com/Forum_Rules.htm|Forum Rules]], in the section on "Copyright and Fair Use":
+//Remember, even a "fair use" excerpt should be properly attributed. This means that the source must be given even if the item is not copyrighted.//
+What do we mean by "properly attributed"?  We ask everyone here to do two things:
+  *   You must clearly indicate in your post when you are quoting what someone else has said, and
+  *   You must include a link to the original source any time you quote from another website, so that others can read the quote in context for themselves. If you don't know how to post a link, see the instructions [[linking_to_external_sites|here]].
