I think someone has set up a list of no-no publications (can someone provide a link?) It might make sense to put this list on the FR home page.

What would be really nifty is a feature that scans the "source" line, and if it finds a match with a prohibited publication, it warns the poster to do an excerpt.

I thought that there might already be something like that. I posted from something that was covered by WP/LAT but was not readily apparent (like a tv news station or smaller local paper) and quickly got a correction by the Admin Moderator. I know some and have viewed the list when I am unsure (like Atlanta Journal Constitution) but don't verify for every post.

Something that scans the source line would be good (although some aricles aren't apparent from that).

I know that I've had to hold off on posting some things from the Houston Chronicle (editorials mostly) that carry a Washington Post services credit near the byline. Some posters may not be as observant.
