I saw your indented paragraphs in quote. But your last paragraph (which should be conclusion) is around 3 times your introduction, wasn't that great a conclusion really.

Anyways just work harder next time

the reason citing wikipedia is frowned upon is because it changes.

so things the you cite today, might not be there tomorrow.

oh, and if you really want to jack everything off of wikipedia, just go down to the citings.
