Copy and paste from other articles
This is allowed, although it often leads to a bad article. However, I've reverted where you've done that because you left no information in the edit summaries (which you should always use, by the way), as to what articles you copied from, and that breaks our copyright licence as it makes it impossible to track the original editors. If you want to do this again, please put a link in, eg"text copied from Shapur II . Please note that virtually all of your edits have been reverted by me or other editors. In part this may be because you haven't explained yourself in edit summaries. Dougweller (talk) 08:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
