Also, see WP:COPY before cutting-and-pasting info directly from Yahoo Finance. I totally agree that the Champion Industries article needs some serious work, but the writing needs to be original. youngamerican (wtf?) 12:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: wtf?

Wikipedia prefers third party sources, much like the Yahoo Finance article, but they have to be used as sources, much like a college paper. One cannot cut and paste from another source. Rather, those sources should be used to inform the writing on the article here. this means that your writing here can be released under a free license, unlike the stuff from YF which is likely under some sort of restrictive copyright.

Flip through some of those links in the welcome message for more information. youngamerican (wtf?) 11:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
