Template:WP no copying
NOTE: Conservapedia does not permit copying articles from Wikipedia or other sites which are mirrors of or based on Wikipedia articles, except in the case that you are the author of the Wikipedia article, and you are copying it as you wrote it, that is, without alterations by other editors. If you do copy your own article, then you must place a notice on the article's talk page that you are the original author of the Wikipedia article. Template "{{Copied from}}" can be used for this.

Note B: You must not supply both optional parameters. Supply one only, or neither. Setting 'multi' to yes causes the notice to appear as shown in example B.
