:::::Because I did not copy sentences word-for-word. The copyright applies to the expression of the idea, not the underlying facts. If you look at the total Kris Kobash article on Wikipedia and the total article on Conservapedia, different ideas are presented in a different order using different sources. A sentence like "Abe Lincoln was born in a log cabin." really is impossible to sue for copyright infringement. I put the ideas into my own words. It appears that your "copyright crusade" is an effort to ''add bias'' to Conservapedia. Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 13:30, 25 July 2017 (EDT)

::::::How am I somehow adding bias to CP by removing content you copied from WP? If you are going to throw silly claims and slander me, please, at least back up your claims. BTW, ''I readded'' something you plagiarized from WP at [[GAI]] but used by own wording. I am '''not''' inherently opposed to the content you are adding, with the exception of the line at the [[Kris Kobach]] article, where you are unable/unwilling to explain why it is appropriate/notable to add some complaint by some obscure liberal legal group. And just because it "''is impossible to sue for copyright infringement''" as you state, it doesn't mean we can just do so. Please adhere to [[Conservapedia:Commandments]] (#1). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 13:44, 25 July 2017 (EDT)

:::::::Using someone's words or ideas without giving them credit is plagiarism. You did slightly reword sections, but at least some of them are almost direct copies. That goes far beyond using it as a resource (which I wouldn't advice anyway, since wikis are not the best source to cite in academic writing anyway) and at the very least the concepts were used without attribution. Please only contribute original wording, with citations to all credible sources which contributed to your writing. Thank you.
::::::::As SamHB said, people tend to watch each other--that's how crowd-sourcing (or "[[Best of the Public]]") works. 1990'sguy often checks what I write, and corrects any issues he sees. I appreciate that, because before he joined, I would sometimes find issues (sometimes fairly serious ones) as I reviewed my work months later (although SamHB did help some). When others review what you have posted, it helps ensure the quality of that material. When copyediting, it's not nice to be a pest, disrespect the writer's work, etc., but it is beneficial if they make helpful improvements.
