    @freamon, I would highly recommend deleting this text topic, and resubmitting the article as a link topic instead, before @Deimos is forced to remove it himself.

    Please don't copy-paste entire articles into a comment like this. That's the kind of thing that can get the site in trouble for copyright infringement.

    And I imagine the same also applies to text topics too. Providing a select few excerpts from an article is one thing, but copying the entire article's content are another thing entirely. But even had you not done that, text topics are still not the preferred way for people to submit articles here, since links topics have a bunch of features intended to facilitate/enhance article submissions that text topics don't (like metadata scraping, source+author attribution, etc).
