2.  Please use spell check, Articles with blatantly bad grammar or spelling issues will be kicked back for you to correct your work, articles that do not receive proper corrections in a timely manner may be deleted.  Submit it properly.

6.  Once an article is Published to either the first page or second page news sections, we may lock the post from being edited to preserve it, and to prevent people from replacing one article with another to circumvent the review process, if your article is locked but there is new information that must be added, such as new evidence, or recent developments, etc, contact staff and explain the developments and we can give you access to update the article as is needed to reflect the new information.  Alternatively, you can write a new supplemental article and cite/reference the previous article, and use the new article to cover the new information, or recent development.
