Mirrors etc.
Hi Debmich1961,

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, all four of your edits have been reverted, for the following reason: in each case, the website you linked to as a reference is either a mirror of Wikipedia (that is, all of its content is drawn directly from Wikipedia pages, and is presented as such) or otherwise plagiarized Wikipedia (using our content without citation or credit). As a result, they are not usable as sources in Wikipedia. An easy way to identify sites with this problem is that they tend to have exactly the same wording as Wikipedia, often for several sentences in a row; another tell is that they are usually created after the content was added to Wikipedia. I hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia, but hopefully a bit more carefully!
