Dear 217.64.242.146 -- Hi, a quick note re creating files reproducing articles and using filenames matching original titles. While articles on the topics related to the files you have created (ie Dafur, the expulsion of Sidney Jones from Indonesia etc) may well fit within the charter of SourceWatch, our policy is not to reproduce entire articles subject to copyright. So by all means cite those articles with a reference and link to where they are available in entirety online in a new and original article on those topics, even if small.

(Remembering that the focus of SourceWatch is where public information is being spun - so perhaps an article on the expulsion of Sidney Jones would be along the lines of how her research and the publicity generated on issues such as human rights abuses in Aceh, Papua and domestic terrorism groups is resented by elements of the military who want to end the publicity by expelling her.) -- cheers --Bob Burton 05:51, 7 Jul 2004 (EDT)

--- and where reproducing material, even if it was posted to the web for public domain use, please acknowledge the source and add a reference/link to it (as with the bio note from Swanee Hunt). It is not only fair but also allows reader who want to check the primary source to do so. Cheers --Bob Burton 06:25, 7 Jul 2004 (EDT)
