  • Hey, JLWallin, thanks for your message. While you might not see why it was a copyright infringement, much of the text was copied word for word from that site. Content on Wikipedia must be written entirely in your own words. Have a read of WP:COPYPASTE. That page has information on why we cannot use word-for-word copies from another non-free source, and why we can't change the wording just a little bit, either.
  • If you would like to submit the article again, you really need to rewrite it from scratch. You can base your information on content from a website, but it must be original wording. I would suggest carefully drafting it up and checking closely to make sure no two sentences are too similar. Good luck, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.
