While that is true, it is still not plagiarism to copy from wikipedia if it is properly credited.

I've encountered many people who do not understand the CC-BY-SA license, and who assume that copying from wikipedia is illegal.

Bluechair, have the admins ever indicated that they are aware it's okay to copy from wikipedia, but that they have chosen to make a local policy against it?

edit: Bluechair, in the edits you linked, you didn't credit the source. Copying CC-BY-SA licensed content without attribution is copyright infringement / plagiarism.
