::*Well, I certainly don't expect you to, Rob, even though it has been explained many times, users can slap the copy they want to add here, on the talk page.  But that isn't "good enough", I understand.  In the meantime, I added the citation. ;-) Another non-issue made into a "issue".  People have time to carp and complain, yet little time to actually create articles, that I do understand. The whole point is, if someone can take the time to add copy, and add templates, they should also have the time to do a simple web search for the missing citation.  As I hastily created the article, Andy and Hoji were each adding citations and checking it.  I am sorry it wasn't up to someones expectations.  I tried many times to resolve this locking issue, but people just switched the channel rather than try to accomodate another point of view.  So be it.  User "Conservative" has the right idea about dealing with "complainers", IMO. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 17:22, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

The last part should be rewritten to indicate that his child was born in January 2007 (I assume based on the article history), and similarly a date should be given for the marriage, rather than stating it was 3 years ago. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 23:52, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
  
The section of this article labeled “2007 Masters Tournament” seems to be in violation of the rules of Conservapedia.  It is largely copied form the Des Moines Register article on the event (some sections nearly word for word) and yet the page only labels the Register article as one of the “References”.  The register article is here <ref>Des Moines Register [http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070408/SPORTS14/70408005/-1/buildasx] </ref>.

A comparison of the text of the register article shows that several passages were take as direct quotes or as such a close paraphrase that a direct reference should be given not just a small hypertext link along with a number of other articles giving the false impression that these words are the synthesis of a number of sources rather than a cut and paste.

::After your comment I reread the [[rules]] and I can’t see how you can say copying is not against themCommandment 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’ve made a number of what I believe are helpful additions to Conservipedia and so I resent and object to being tied in with “the disrupting squad here to point out flaws and discredit, but never fix anything”—that is nothing but an ad hominem attack and a baseless one at that..  I’d have simply added the citation and moved on if the page were not locked, and if there was not a request on the [[Articles for Deletion]] page to report copying, “Use [[Conservapedia:Copying]] to track articles that have no problem with topic or content, but which seem to draw heavily on material copied from elsewhere.” --[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 18:19, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

I have removed all material that is in breach of commandment 1. Can someone else check my edits and confirm I have not removed anything that is not a copyvio and not against commandment 1 --[[User:Cgday|Cgday]] 18:18, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Sign - so TK has reverted the article so that it a) contains a straight lift from Wikipedia (against Commandment 1) and also b) contains a straight lift from a copyright source - again against commandment 1 and also is a straight forward breach of US copyright law. Great job. what are the rules for here again? --[[User:Cgday|Cgday]] 18:22, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
+
 
+
I see nothing "lifted" from Wikipedia.  Please support your assertion. I warned you removing the material, rather than re-writing it, was nothing more than the act of a vandal.  Do not criticize without solutions. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 18:25, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

:The first solution is to remove the material that violates copyright. When given the choice between a stub and a copyright violation, choose the stub and improve then. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 18:27, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

:The rules ban “lifting” from “Wikipedia or other non-public domain sources” not from “Wikipedia.”--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 18:31, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Since the material was re-worded, perhaps Andy, since he is an Attorney, would be a better judge than Colin, CgDay and you Sid, as to what is wholesale copying, and exactly how much change is needed to avoid infringement suits, eh? Nothing I sourced was from Wikipedia, and I have never seen their material on the subject. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 18:30, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Prominent?

He is prominent among a new generation of Christian athletes - Where is this information from? Who else is on this list of prominent Christian athletes? Seems like an opinion/gossip line to me. Jrssr5 15:37, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, it doesn't to me, or to Andy. He is the winner of the Masters, therefore he is prominent. --~ TK MyTalk 15:53, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

How is it evidence of a "new generation"? There is nothing in the link to support that claim. --Cgday 16:40, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

It certainly shows that the idea of a new generation of Christian athletes exists.
