Comments on: The BBC Linking Policy – My Experience http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/2010/03/the-bbc-linking-policy-my-experience.html Wrestling with PHP, SEO, Social Media & Networking Sat, 01 Jan 2011 18:52:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Kate http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/2010/03/the-bbc-linking-policy-my-experience.html/comment-page-1#comment-39768 Kate Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:52:36 +0000 http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/?p=3101#comment-39768 I agree with Jem: quoting someone but not providing a link is sloppy. Without a link the reader has no way of knowing if the quote is genuine, or taken out of context. Saying that - I came here to look at your plugins and am about to download InComment because I'm getting quite a bit of spam and appear to be listed on some dodgy site :-( Thanks for putting it together!

If I submitted an essay at college with no sources, I'd have failed. Referencing websites in an article, blog post, whatever is just the same thing IMO.
