Copy pasting text

edit

Hi Craig, I see that you've been pasting text in, copied from some US Government sources. Even though many such are public domain, it remains important to attribute them as cited quotations if only so that readers can verify what they read. It's better though to actually rewrite them in your own words, while still citing the source. Cheers, LeadSongDog come howl! 20:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi LeadSongDog, I agree it is important to attribute my information as cited quotations and I thought I had done that. I rewrote the ones I thought I could make read better, given the context, and kept the ones I thought were better as originally written but I thought I cited everything well enough. If you can give me some specific guidance, this is my first Wikipedia entry of any significance, I'd appreciate it. I looked at a lot of article and cites and the Wikipedia guidance and so forth before I did this to get it as right as possible but I am sure there is room for improvement. Thanks againCraigKelley62 come howl! 20:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
