Guys, can we have some standard practices when creating threads with articles ?
Got this idea from @Robbie3000's thread in Event Staff but I think it could be a good look for HL to (rather small) standards of presentation.
So first standard I'd propose would be to always put an article in quotes in order to differentiate the article from the poster's comments. Said article could be cleaned or formatted a little (centering photos ; cutting or extending paragraphs for example) above all when there are plenty of spaces in it or social media links which are often annoying lists. But that would be only if OP wants it because ultimately it's not important really.
Second standard should be to put the link(s) to the source(s) of the quoted article for other posters to be able to check the source quickly and know where the article come from.
Example :
Myself I put the link after the quote but it's no big deal as long as as the article is quoted and the link is present imo. What does HL think ?

Russian authorities have detained two men in connection with the murder of the opposition leader Boris Nemtsov. The pair were named as Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev, both from the North Caucasus, a volatile region of southern Russia plagued by insurgency.
Alexander Bortnikov, head of Russia’s federal security service, said the investigation was ongoing and Vladimir Putin had been informed of the detentions, the government television network Rossiya-24 reported.
