DO NOT CUT-N-PASTE FROM DICTIONARY.COM. Thank you. --Connel MacKenzie 00:28, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for resubmitting the entry. However, I will need to undo it, as your submitted definition is clearly derived from the AHD definition, particularly noting the timestamp. It is tricky to avoid copyright violations, and there is no reason to increase Wiktionary's exposure. If you were to cut-and-paste the definition from ARTFL (the copy of Webster's 1913 dictionary now in the public domain) it would still not be in Wiktionary format.

It is customary to let someone else provide a definition for a word that you submitted that was flagged as a copyright violation (thereby reducing the argument that it could be a derivitive work.) --Connel MacKenzie 00:46, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
