One of Pensapedia's main goals is to create articles that have their own unique voice and perspective.  While existing [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]] articles provide a great starting point for in-depth topics that require copious research, we should try to do more than just copy-paste entire articles. For examples of pages that have used Wikipedia articles as starting points, see [[Kent Hovind]] ([[Wikipedia:Kent Hovind|Wikipedia version]]) and [[Pensacola Beach, Florida]] ([[Wikipedia:Pensacola Beach, Florida|Wikipedia version]]).  In those examples, large chunks of the Wikipedia content has been removed entirely, or rewritten in a more locally-oriented voice, and many of the links that aren't relevant to our purposes have been converted to text only.
