I know policy says no copying from Wikipedia but there is a well written article located at the exact same name as this that I would like to copy from there. And there is little I can do to make it any better. So with the communities permission I would like to copy and paste it.--'''''<span style="border: 2px #000000 solid;background:#FFD800; font-variant:small-caps">[[User:FellowChristian16|<font color="#000000">Fellow</font>]][[User talk:FellowChristian16|<font color="#000000">Christian16</font>]]</span>''''' 18:39, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

:As far as I understand, it's not our policy which restricts copying from Wikipedia as much as Wikipedia's policy and copyright law. You can copy only pages that you made (without contributions from others), but once someone else edits it, it is no longer allowed to be copied.
