:::::::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.
