:We may be confusing two issues here.  As mentioned above, you are not allowed to copy from Wikipedia, unless it is entirely your own work.  But you are also not allowed to use Wikipedia as a reference, which I think may be what Eoinc is referring to.  Wikipedia has a similar rule, i.e. that you cannot use other on-line encyclopedias, blogs, etc. as sources.  It has to be what they refer to as a "reliable source".  Similarly, we don't find Wikipedia necessarily reliable, so you can't use it as a source.  But as Fox said, you may be able to use and cite the same sources that Wikipedia uses.  [[User:Philip J.
