SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Articles labeled as Current Events or News will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.
Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.
On this subreddit, we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.
Submissions should not be about individual country's domestic policy. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could effect the geopolitical system.
Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. Check out the sidebar for examples of good source material. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.
Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.
We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.
We encourage comments to be cited.
Blogspamming will result in a ban. Please make sure that you are not submitting a link that merely copies and pastes an article from another source.
Please be respectful to your fellow redditors. Follow rediquette and treat others with courtesy. We do not tolerate sexism, racism, anti-semitism, homophobia, bigotry, or any other forms of intolerance towards different nationalities, religions, or other social groups.
If you wish to promote your own site contact the moderators for the self-promotion policy.
This is not a place to discuss conspiracy theories! There are other communities for that.
Memes, puns, and off-topic jokes will be removed. We pride ourselves in being a community that values quality and insight. Memes and puns offer neither.
Thanks for reading all the rules, and welcome to our digital agora!
