I have deleted this entry as it is a word for word copy of the Merriam Webster entry, something which we do not allow on Wiktionary. While we encourage the creation of new entries, we do not allow this method. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Is there anyway I can create the entry while citing it? I must admit, I didn't figure this kind of thing wasn't allowed. SynergeticMaggot 07:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

There is no way that we allow a full-scale copyright infringement like that, even if the source is referenced. If you would like to use Webster as a source of information, to write a definition in your own words, that is allowed. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
