:It was not at all clear in the article that the entire thing had been copied word-for-word from the CDC site.  If you are quoting long sections of text, you need to show that with quotation marks or other formatting to make it clear which parts are quoted and which parts are original.  While the CDC site was named as a source, it was not indicated that the CDC page had been lifted word-for-word.  In addition, a good article will draw upon several sources.  Also, just because a site doesn't have a copyright notation does not mean it is in the public domain (although I agree that government works are probably public domain).  Bottom line - would you accept this kind of work from a student?  I wouldn't.  It's dishonest. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 22:39, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
