The entirely of your post between these two sentences (and including these two sentences) was a direct copy of this wikipedia article If you are going to quote directly from a specific source then please reference it with at least a link to the original.

I should also point out that not mentioning your source as wikipedia is slightly misleading since you appeared to be presenting the information as fact. Whilst wikipedia does have a good reputation (and this article appears well referenced meaning others can check the facts though wikipedia themselves are still expressing concern over referencing) its very nature means it is not always accurate and can, on some ocassions, be entirely incorrect.

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
