It is important when doing this that we must comply with the Creative Commons license which Wikipedia content has, which requires proper attribution. The commonly-accepted way to do this, is to import the history of the article from Wikipedia, to ensure that all contributors of the article are properly attributed.

−	~~These articles CAN NOT be legally placed in '''Marspedia''''s main namespace as it is reserved for [[public domain]] content. This content is not ours to release in such a capacity.~~
−
−	It is also critical to continue credit for the multiple contributors whose iterative efforts built up the article. The most feasible method of doing this from a MediaWiki source is no '''export''' and then '''import''' the article. Note that only sysops have the power to import articles to Marspedia.
−
−	If you are not a sysop, please send a [[User_talk:Strangelv\|message]] to a recently active sysop requesting that they import the article for you. As of this writing, most registered users of Marspedia have sysop capabilities.

-On most computers, when your press the alt and corntol and delete buttons at the same time, a window will pop up and show you all the programs aka processes that are running in and on the computer at that time.  Bye closing some, not all, you can close unnecessary programs that will open up space of the editing software to work without lagging.  BECAREFUL DOING THIS!!!  If you close the incorrect or too many programs, computer will shutdown or restart.
