Hi Cabal, and welcome! I see you've been copying articles from Wikipedia. I'd encourage you to make original contributions, rather than direct copies, for a number of reasons:

  • Many of the Wikipedia templates are not needed here, and the broken links to them are unsightly
  • The license on our text is less restrictive than that of Wikipedia, which means that all text from Wikipedia must be flagged and carefully managed so that it stays separate from new contributions
  • Most importantly, our goal is not to be a mirror of Wikipedia, but to provide information from a libertarian and anarchist perspective: something Wikipedia cannot do. Merely copying from Wikipedia in general doesn't further that goal.

Anyway, I hope you stick around and start contributing here! --Forgottenman (talk) 11:29, 26 January 2011 (CST)
