We don't prevent copying from Wikipedia for legal reasons, we do it to prevent the bias that permeates Wikipedia from entering our articles. What username did you use on Wikipedia? [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:07, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

That makes sense, and I promise that I'm here with good inentions. I'm a bit confused and taken back by my account getting blocked though, especially after I tried to explain that the edits are my own work. You even went as far to revert my changes on the Tax Day Tea Party article? Take a look at wikipedia's article on it. Nothing I added is copying Wikipedia. :-( ...that's what sucks the most about my getting blocked. I guess at this point I have to wonder what constitutes "copying?" Innevitably, some information may discuss very similar facts here as they do on wikipedia, especially when using quotes or sources that are the same, but as long as I'm not copy/pasting anything I can't imagine how my edits are considered to be copying Wikipedia. Besides, wikipedia is bias! I'm being very careful about my edits and have put a lot of time into them. So this is a bit frustrating, to say the least. Sigh. :-( [[User:Tycoon24|Tycoon24]] 21:44, 10 October 2009 (EDT)
