Hi - welcome to Wikipedia. I left your edits of fact, but removed the description copied from Berkley's campaign site. You're welcome to rewrite that in an encyclopedic form and tone. Flatterworld (talk) 01:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, who/whom ever you are. My addition to the Berkley bio was directly from the official biography on her official web page.  Nothing campaign oriented there.  It would have been nice for you to inquire about it rather than taking it upon yourself to assume you knew where it came from. Tjstory (talk) 12:43, 15 June 2011 (UTC) tjstory
 * It's still plagiarism and not acceptable under Wikipedia's rules. Furthermore, Wikipedia articles are required to be written using in a neutral point of view (NPOV) -- something copying and pasting from a first-party source does not provide -- and to be verifiable. No one else can ascertain the verifiability/accuracy of your edits if you don't provide citations. This may not seem like a big problem now, but statements like "a Las Vegas resident for more than four decades" could easily become five or six in 10-20 years, and those editors would have no way of knowing whether the content was accurate.
 * Finally, under Wikipedia's biographies of living persons rule, articles about living persons (particularly those engaged in high-profile political campaigns) are held to a higher standard as to ensure that they are neither puff pieces nor attack pieces, and to ensure that they are not libelous.
