:I have no problem with us having an article on him, and as I said, I'm glad you though of posting it here. However, even if Wikipedia deletes content, the content itself still belongs to the person (or persons) who wrote it. In this case, it sounds like you have the right to post the introduction, but everything else must be rewritten. I know it can a a pain, since there is already a good piece, but unless those who wrote it grant their permission, it cannot be used by us.<br />

Wikipedia offers all of their content under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. "ShareAlike" in no problem here, since Conservapedia has a much freer agreement (nearly Public Domain), but the Attribution aspect is difficult to cover, without writing "This article was copied from Wikipedia." However, Conservapedia does not allow articles to be copied from Wikipedia, unless the author of the copied work does so. Hopefully this makes at least a little sense. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 12:39, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
