Such as a simple Wikipedia answer or what-have-you?

Good question and my answer is YES I do. I want an answer with real knowledge not one that has been cut and pasted off the internet just so the person answering can gain 2 points. Knowledge is power, anyone can cut-n-paste but when I ask a question I am seeking an experienced answer.
I am so glad you asked this because I have often wondered how people feel about those who answer with a cut-n-paste off the web.

If the pasted reference is simply a component of an original answer, then I think it's legit, but the answers comprised entirely of lifted quotes are not worth the trouble. I can Wiki w/o anyone's help, thank, you.

Surprisingly, I don't get many of those....but then again, my questions are kind of strange. But I try my best to read all my answers, even if they are cut and paste. As for Wikipedia...I use it religiously myself, so that is kind of a sad way to answer a question. I love my Wiki!

they think of they're making themselves look smarter. I even have been usually happening to pass to my Bible and variety the verse without delay from there while that's a faith question as a manner to no longer misquote God's word. and that i will supply a hyperlink to a duplicate of the King James version of the Holy Bible on line in my source. yet replica and paste...only makes human beings look stupid in case you question me... ...and now permit's see how long it takes for somebody to rfile me for being offensive in my answer right here.

Yes! I don't like cut and pastes. If someone asks about their horoscope, I go to the site, read it and then write it in my own words. I've seen people cut and paste and I, like you, completely ignore them. They're just looking for 10 pts and they're not getting it!!

I'd prefer they send me to the link. Copy pasting the wiki only makes me feel even dumber for having asked the question without reading it or, especially, if I have and it wasn't enough. lol

Yes, usually. I come here to get other people's opinions, not information I can obtain from the Internet.

Sometimes. I just give the website's link, not an entire article.

If there isn't a reference, yip I do. I hate people taking credit for other people's work.
