May 5, 2011 at 14:14 comment added Marthaª @zizi: your original answer quoted even more of the article, but did not in any way, shape, or form, indicate that these were not your own words. Putting "ref. ..." at the end is a way to indicate sources of original research, not a way to say "oh, yeah, by the way, I didn't actually write any of the above, I just stole it from this site".
May 5, 2011 at 14:06 comment added Marthaª @zizi: you quote something like 50% of the article - 15 of 33 lines. That's really borderline for "fair use". I've edited it to at least make it obvious that these are not your own words.

Removing all attribution is hardly an improvement. If you're gonna quote, be honest about it.

May 5, 2011 at 13:45 comment added RegDwigнt Please format verbatim quotes as such (simply putting a link at the end is misleading) and edit them for brevity (quoting entire articles is no longer Fair Use).
