No, I do not, and I dont like it either when people plagiarize my answers either, especially over at math and sciences.
I use Wikipedia only as an additional source to reinforce my answer, never to copy and paste

I really wanted to paste the Wikipedia entry for "Wikipedia" as my answer, but it was so long that it would be more annoying than funny.
As for the question, I hate it for a couple of reasons. First, Wikipedia is not always an authoritative source, and I'm hesitant to take what I read there as confirmed fact. I'd rather have it backed up by another source. Secondly, people don't reference the source, acting like it's something they just came up with. If you're going to copy and paste, at least admit where you stole the material!

I hate it. It's one thing to reference wikipedia, but just copying and pasting shows they have no idea what they're talking about when they answer. I mean, I could easily just to go wikipedia and search for the topic I asked about. If I ask here, I want a more detailed answer.

Are you soliciting for a quick answer on human habit? =) Others have spoke back the direct question. the reason longer solutions win is typically they answer questions the asker meant to ask, yet did no longer understand the thank you to ask, or did no longer understand they necessary to nicely known. the point of Yahoo solutions is an area the place human beings can ask questions and get sturdy solutions. the place the techniques comes from is irrelevant as lengthy because it solutions the question and gets the guy on their way. the certainty that Yahoo awards factors is meant to be waiting to become responsive to solid sources. As all public platforms, its providers to being abused. The factors and ranges, Its definitely meaningless. they do no longer advise something rather. i could desire to be an authority on any subject rely, yet by way of fact I in basic terms started, ability I have not got any factors or ranges. with a bit of luck the solutions make the little gentle bulb activate for somebody. i could desire to circulate on and submit a plenty longer answer. yet i will circulate away with this theory: basically examine / answer questions that are worth of you're time. are not getting wrapped up in getting maximum suitable solutions. interior the tip, its basically element of the internet. basically 2% of the completed cyber web is definitely thrilling. something is in basic terms rubbish.

No, I don't. If the person wanted an answer from Wikipedia they could have looked it up themselves instead of using up five points.

I hate that as well as people asking a question they could just as easily look up in wikipedia themselves.

It's worse when they just give a link to a Wikipedia page. I always give a thumbs down for that.

Nope. Because we all know wiki is not 100% reliable. Besides can't we all google most of this stuff?
