rewording doesn't change the fact that it's stolen, but actually rewriting does - writing the same info with you own words. It's not that hard, it's just more work than copy/pasting. The problem with asking other authors to use their work is that the articles can be edited at any moment, so most authors won't give their permission. If you want to reference outside material, you do it in the links section, not in an article.

Sorry if I came on strong, but just like most places on the web, there's a lot of people on here who believe there's nothing wrong with copying - but it gives our site a bad name, makes cooperations with other sites more difficult and besides: we want to be better than other sites, not present the same material. ;)
