Great to see the United States portal cleaned up (appreciation to OcaviaMelody777). As for the ban on copy content I must say that while I'd prefer not to see copy and pasting going on I also know that it's the quickest way to get an article started (to have it up and not blank or one lined). When speaking of history we are bound to repeat the details we have heard; if you read one article on the battle of Gettysburg and then another details will repeat but new details may yet be uncovered. At present I feel we should find copied material and expand the details; maybe reword some lines to make them unique but not punish those who post copied material. It'd be nice to know where they copied from, so the source may be checked. But that's why we have a source section  for our articles.
