This article contains material from the CIA World Factbook which, as a U.S. government publication, is in the public domain.

Isn't most of this just lifted from the CIA World Factbook? If so, is that appropriate to Wiki? 211.30.47.220

The material is OK; see CIA_World_Factbook#Copyright. FYI, you can find Wikipedia's copyright policy here. Dave6 08:39, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks - but even though there is no copyright issue, is it suitable to just copy-paste large slabs of information from external sources? This is probably in a Wikipedia policy document somewhere, I'll look it up. 211.30.47.220 04:07, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] This Is OK?

I hardly think that just taking everything off CIA is a very good thing to do even if legal...
