The use of verbatim, unattributed quotations in articles is considered plagiarism. Whenever you incorporate the exact text of a source into an article, please provide appropriate attribution in the form of quotation marks,, or similar. Please note that addition of non-free text, without attribution as a direct quotation, is considered to be a copyright violation per se, even if it otherwise would have been fair use. (Excessive and/or unnecessary use of non-free text, even when correctly attributed, might still run afoul of the non-free content policy and guideline, and be considered a copyright violation.) Also, Wikipedia style guidelines discourage the excessive use of quotations, even when correctly attributed. All closely paraphrased text must adhere to the same attribution, non-free content, and copyright standards as verbatim quotations. I notice that you have added verbatim non-free text to Kevin Curtis without attribution as a direct quotation, which I believe to be inconsistent with the previously described policies:, copied directly from. Thank you for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia, but please rewrite source material in your own words. Peter Karlsen (talk) 23:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
