[edit] Spartanburg, SC

I removed your edit because it was a copyright infringement. You did a decent job in citing your source [1], however you copyed two sentences from it directly, almost word for word. Just like when you write a paper for school, you can't do that. The best way to include the information is to Paraphrase. If that's not possible indicate, the source directly with prose: According to The Associated Press "..." Then cite the source using the ref tag.

If you think that I'm being strict, all I did was to remove an edit. I've known people who have failed college courses for just about the same violation.

Besides that your edit was good, and there probably needs to be more history of the office. Dan, the CowMan 16:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
