these damn quotes

**Nightmare** · 08-01-2004

How comes when i try quoting it dont come up... i click on the preview button and it comes up as normal text as what i wrote.

omg now i have realised when i also try to put a picture in it dont come up.
why is this

... im getting annoyed

It's better just to put in the tags yourself..as when you do it by clicking on the buttons they often put the tags in the wrong spot.

**Nightmare** · 08-01-2004

Oh so what you mean is just type [quote] myself and it will work oyea and that end quote
ok thanx.

Like this [quote] at the begginning of your quote and at the end write [quote] but put a / in front of the quote, that will close it off.

But if you want it to say like PlayStation 3 wrote: then u have to use the quote option unless u wanna put the name in urself like this e.g.

[quote="the name of the person u wanna quote"] then at the end type [quote] and put a / in front of the quote.

I didn't put a / in front of those quotes cause if I did it would actually quote me...

Hope that helps u out

PS3 if your going to use the quote tags as examples make sure to put spaces like this [ quote ] so you dont quote yourself.

No worries

ur welcome dude

Just thought I would share two sites that referenced us in recent articles:

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/TheFee ... index.html

and

http://www.kotaku.com/ (at the bottom of page 1/top of page 2)

**heerokenshin** · 05-19-2006

This is really great, however, in the kotaku article it says this

However, Sony Computer Entertainment has told game site PS3 Land the following:

Please note that online gaming will be free right out of the box.

But Sony hasn't said anything to us, what should we do about this?

**KlawHammer** · 05-19-2006

Hey, it's free publicity. So SONY didn't contact us, they're the ones that mis-interpreted it. Let them figure it out.

**heerokenshin** · 05-19-2006

Still, I think that something should be done to clarify it. There could be some legal ramifications if Sony thinks we are spreading that.

**RPGDreamer** · 05-19-2006

It's probably because the PS3Land article didn't have a source and was misinterpreted (by both Kataku and G4).

Someone should let them know though, and it's pretty terrible writing ethic to not cite sources in articles. A lot of the articles on PS3Land don't and are written as if the people were talking to PS3Land directly :s

Wow, somebodies getting a massive bonus.

**ps3 Wanna be** · 05-19-2006

I don't think we've, or rather I've, misled anyone in that article.

It just says Sony PR...like every other site that reported it.

05-19-2006

Well I work with sony, and I state that PS3 will have free online right out of the box. So I guess I would be a "Sony PR" then

**ps3 Wanna be** · 05-19-2006

Thanks for clearing that up Kevin

Well, when you get your info from another article or whatever and don't say so (kind of like "in an interview with ________ Sony PR manager ________ said ________"), it's called Plagarism. Here's more info on it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagarism

According to Diana Hacker, "Three acts are plagiarism: (1) failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas, (2) failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks and (3) failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words."

^Note how even though the paragraph mentioned who the original speaker is, a link to where the info originated is included.

Similarly, sites which are referencing PS3Land are saying things like this:

However, PS3 Land is reporting that Sony's PS3 online service will indeed be free as in beer.

Even sites which are known for posting untrue news cites sources and links to articles they got their info from, so I don't see how a site which is trying to be professional, like PS3Land, can't do the same.

**ps3 Wanna be** · 05-19-2006

Fair enough, I do that from time to time, but I'll try to remember to do it more often.

**heerokenshin** · 05-19-2006

This is getting out of hand...

**RPGDreamer** · 05-19-2006

Ouch. How about update the PS3Land article and add a note or something?

**ps3 Wanna be** · 05-19-2006

Will update once I've got Cera's preview up.

Any suggestions on what to put?

**ps3 Wanna be** · 05-19-2006

Updated. This is what I put:

It has come to our attention that many sites are crediting us for contacting Sony. We'd like to make it clear that Sony's PR Manager has not been in direct contact with us, and we have merely relayed information from various other news websites.
