The license allows it to be copied and used. However in general I'd rather see original content here. Perhaps User:Thompson can go through it and add value from other verified sources. --SamCoulter 22:52, 13 November 2011 (CST)

Why did you delete all those articles?--James Wilson 23:06, 13 November 2011 (CST)

Because they were plagiarised from other sites. However I do think this is open to discussion; I understand where George is coming from, but if the articles are open source there's no legal reason why we CAN'T use them and we might also consider giving User:Thompson another chance after a shorter block, if he accepts that we prefer original content to copied. --SamCoulter 23:09, 13 November 2011 (CST)
