User talk:Laurelai
Hey, Laurelai
BEFORE You start editing, please give this a once-over.
If you need any help with wiki markup, or don't have any experience check out Wikipedia's editing guide. You can also check out our Test page (Please do not edit existing things on the test page, use its talk page for testing).
Its quite alright to write some incredibly raw material and then tag it with {{cleanup}} to signal that an editor needs to assist you.
A good idea is to start on talk pages or your user page. This can get you familiarized with the markup without being detrimental to content.
Be sure to sign with four tildes (~~~~) when you use a talk page, and to put new comments at the bottom.
If you don't feel comfortable editing an article, or it has been protected as a high-traffic page you can use the {{edit request}} template along with a brief summary for administrative help.
Please also read over our editing policy and rules, and if you still have questions feel free to ask an active sysop
Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Hey
Please don't copy-paste wikipedia. If an article needs expanded, it should be expanded not copied from them. It's not a copyright issue or anything, it's more a credibility issue. Mike (Talk) 10:36, 29 May 2012 (MSK)
- Even so, it completely destroys any credibility we have to be copying articles from wikipedia. Even in the edit history, it will always be viewable. We're instructors, not professional paraphrasers, and when people come to us for information, they don't want to see that we just copy Jimbo. Besides, wikipedians are completely incompetent.
