Copying
Hi Knoah: Seeing your query on Drmies' talk page, I've looked at your sandbox and I do see a copyright problem. To do your rewrites, you've been copying in the code for the existing Wikipedia pages. For example, from Zoo Interchange, with this edit. You don't provide an edit summary for that or, it seems, any other edits there. But attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia—i.e., you need to give credit to the original writers of the page by saying you are copying, and from where. See this page. The easiest method is to say in the edit summary something like: "Copying Zoo Interchange for expansion". Not to have a statement of any kind is a copyright violation, even though it was copied from Wikipedia itself. Needless to say it's also a copyright violation if you copy wording from anywhere else that isn't explicitly stated to be copyright-free, even if you later change the wording, but I suspect you didn't realize the rule extended to Wikipedia articles.
