Okay, I reread the Wikipedia policy amd I'm still not clear. If I put the text in quotes would that resolve the issue? I.E. The material is not copyrighted and is properly cited.TKJ4114(talk) 16:52, November 10, 2011

Just adding quotation marks is not enough. Short quotes are okay in a context of Wikipedia's own words. Just adding quotations to an article is not that helpful. If you find it difficult to put information into your own words please find another way to contribute to the project, perhaps by copy editing, fixing grammar, etc. Joja lozzo 17:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if you add ~~~~ at the end of your talk page edits, Wikipedia will turn that into a signature with a time stamp. (see WP:TALK and WP:SIGN). Joja lozzo 17:29, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks I will digest your advice and rectify above articles. Note: I was the author of one article so I will be rewriting my own words, on the others I was just trying to present content that was verifiable. TJK4114 (talk) 18:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
