Great work on [[Jim Cramer]]!  You seem to really know your stuff and I'm glad to have you on board.  Side note: we ask all editors have their names formatted as first name, last initial, or some variant of that.  You can have your name changed by posting what it should be changed to on [[User talk:Aschlafly]].  [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 18:35, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

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)

:::As for using previous wikipedia work for future edits here, I'll refrain from that as much as possible from now on. To be honest, since it's been awhile since using the wiki-style platform, it did help a little for me to get back into the groove for how this works by going over what I did when editing wikipedia awhile ago. All I can ask for is a little patience until I get a better feel for how the tone, content, and audience read/write in conservapedia. I'll get the hang of it. :-)  Thanks for the advice and I hope to be able to help out more appropriately in the future with you all! [[User:Tycoon24|Tycoon24]] 15:48, 11 October 2009 (EDT)
