I see no problem with someone researching and referencing their answers.
-
Nothing wrong with it as long as it's no the majority of their answers. In some cases a straight wiki link is the thing needed to answer the question the best.
-
at least they took the time and effort to try and help...:}
-
Are you talking about cut and paste? I don't like that -- I think people should give short and concise answers that link to their references.
-
Not a problem. Often, the questioner could have gone and found the answer and not asked the question. So many questions have already been answered thoroughly - online resources are manifold.

G'day Ninja Man, Thank you for your question. I sometimes paste answers where they are relevant to the question. However, there is no point in pasting an entire Wikipedia article when a short quote does the job. Regards
