An ariticle about the Google row with China at guardian.co.uk by Tania Branigan breaks the Editing for the Web rules. The sentences are too long. The paragraphs are often more than a sentence. The article is 857 words all there in one article. No partial story, or links to the rest, just the entire story.

There are links to background information that are postioned throughout the article. And, links to other related stories (from The Guardian) are there dating back to January. There's also a picture there of a guy searching Google. For further reading pleasure, here is a retaliatory move made by Google against China. This article works, too. And it has sub-heads!v If you want to know what the deal means, have a read.

Essentially, this article looks like it would in the newspaper. To many, that's probably not a bad thing. And the main thing is that it works.
