Thanks! He blanked a new page I made earlier today, too, as well as my own talk page. I wondered how to report him.

You're welcome! By the way, I wanted to ask you if it is possible to borrow data from Wikipedia. It would save time in creating an article. However, according to the Guidelines[http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Guidelines#Permitted], it is only permitted if you wrote it or if the person who wrote it gives you permission. Is there a way to use data from Wikipedia without plagiarizing? It would save time and work in creating an article. Could you, for instance, change data to the point that the words are entirely different? If not, tell me so. [[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) 22:35, 4 January 2016 (EST)

:I know what you mean, but that would be pushing it. You can read over what they wrote, look at their sources, then write your own article based on that. Even then, you should cite the non-Wikipedia sources. Taking and changing their article, though, is not a good idea. If they contribute to your article, you need to cite them. If you take a part of what they wrote, don't try to hide it. For text from a single source, you can include it as a cited quote. You can't do that WP though. Your best bet is to look up the sources used in the WP page, and see if you can quote from them. Besides, what good is Conservapedia if it is composed of text directly from WP?
