Welcome to the Articles page!Article Submission Guidelines
Note: Pictou County Search reserves the right to remove any article or articles for any reason with or without notice or explanation. In cases where the above or other guidelines are severely abused, so-called authors will be banned.
- We strongly recommend that you do not submit articles that are not your own unless the author has given you permission to do so.
- Submit your article to one category only. Submissions to multiple categories are automatically removed on a daily basis.
- Submissions that are commercial or advertorial in content will be removed from the Pictou County Search database.
- Submissions that are less than 100 words will be removed from the Pictou County Search database. Longer articles may also be removed if they contain no useful content or are submitted for the sole purpose of obtaining backlinks or promoting a product or service.
- Submissions that consist of a few lines of text with a link pointing to another site where the article supposedly resides will be removed.
- Article submissions that are plagiarized or in violation of another author's copyright will be removed. Read the section below for more information on our copyright policy.
Article Criteria
Article submissions are subject to length restrictions. These are outlined below:
Article Title: maximum 150 characters.
Article Body: maximum of 15,000 characters or roughly 2,500 words.
Author Bio: 400 characters or roughly 60 words.Article Formatting and Links
We strongly recommend that authors submitting to Pictou County Search copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like Notepad or NoteTab Light. Following this suggestion will ensure that paragraph breaks, line length and other basic formatting will be properly handled by our submission form. Copying and pasting content from applications like MS Word can and does result in a variety of formatting problems. The reason for this is that MS Word and similar applications use non-ASCII, sometimes invisible, characters that are copied with article content into our submission form, causing articles to appear very differently from the way they were submitted.
At this point Pictou County Search cannot accept html in submissions. A planned, future upgrade to the software will allow html. Until then article submission will be free.
Copyright and Violations
Pictou County Search's policy prohibits the use of copyrighted material in a manner that violates the copyright owner's rights. In general, this means that authors should only submit their own original written work to which they have natural copyright.
In cases where copyright is disputed (usually as a result of plagiarism or unauthorized copying), articles will be immediately removed without recourse or discussion, regardless of the arguments presented by the disputing parties.Body Piercing Tips Explained! by Angel Fines
