Talk:Council on Foreign Relations

From TinWiki.org

I have rolled this article back to the original version

This article looked basically totally messed up. There were lots of codes that aren't used at all in tinWiki, and several formatting problems were also happening since that apparent paste.

It is not a good idea to simply copy & paste Wikipedia articles 'whole sale'. tinWiki does not work like Wikipedia in all ways. We don't have the same template messages, and lots of the stuff that is present in Wikipedia, and works in Wikipedia, is not present and does not work in tinWiki. tinWiki is a totally different site from Wikipedia. The articles here should be written originally, or there will be various problems, both because of codes and references that just don't mean anything in this website, and sometimes because the context here is different from that in Wikipedia. Which means material that is simply copied and pasted, doesn't necessarily make tinWiki a better website. More isn't always better, or how it's said. To create a new article in tinWiki, please read the material you want to make an article about, and write your own text, or, in the very least, be selective in pasting text snippets -- if it is legal at all to paste it, that is, like Wikipedia material is, if Wikipedia is listed as reference. Make sure that the result looks good, and that it doesn't have lots of 'jumbled' nonsensical codes in it that would have worked in Wikipedia, but that here in tinWiki only causes a mess.
