::After your comment I reread the [[rules]] and I can’t see how you can say copying is not against them. Commandment number 1 reads “Everything you post must be true and verifiable. Do not copy from [[Wikipedia]] or other non-public domain sources.” I can’t read this to mean anything other than that copying from non-public domain sources, like the Des Moines Register, is against the rules. (Further I think at the article stands it is in violation of commandment number 2 “Always cite and give credit to your sources,[1] even if in the public domain. Please see Conservapedia's [[Manual of Style]] which assists new [[wiki]] users on how to put footnotes in an article.” Since the direct quotes are not marked as quotations and it is not clear where they are taken from).
::I can’t see how, after reading those Comandments, you can argue that copying from a non public domain source and then not marking the direct quotes with quotation marks and then not citing exactly where the direct quotes were taken from is not in violation of the stated rules of Conservapedia.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 18:11, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
