Request reason:
My 8 year old cousin just learned how to copy and paste on a computer. While I was at a knowledge bowl meet for my high school, since I never logged out, she went to the featured article of today and copied and pasted everything. When I got back about a minute later, I put it back to what I think the page looked like before my cousin messed with it. The edit to page of colors was an edit not vandalism, Rue is a certain shade of green and I didn't see it in the list and I don't know how to put the picture of it on there so i just put it at the bottom of the page.
Please include a decline or accept reason.

I couldn't find the source of the article, but it is on the Abraham Lincoln Page, unless that is the source of the article. What is in bold is what I added.
Assassination[edit]
Originally, John Wilkes Booth, a well-known actor and a Confederate spy from Maryland, had formulated a plan to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for the release of Confederate prisoners. After attending an April 11 speech in which Lincoln promoted voting rights for blacks, an incensed Booth changed his plans and determined to assassinate the president.[1] Learning that the President and First Lady, together with the Grants, would be attending the play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre, he laid his plans, assigning his co-conspirators to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward.

- The problem with that edit is you are making your own interpretation (or interpolation?). We have no idea whether Booth knew the name of the play that they would be attending - Booth knew Lincoln was at the theater and Lincoln was attending that play, but it doesn't automatically follow that Booth knew the name of the play. This is a difficult concept, but an important one - content on Wikipedia needs to be well-sourced and verifiable. Unless you have confirmed a particular fact with the source material, it shouldn't be added. Please choose another edit and make sure that it is well-sourced and accurate. Also, when you make an unblock request, please reference this "second chance" article and don't copy/paste your old unblock request - if you do, then someone without even reading it is going to decline the request just from looking at your edits. --B (talk) 12:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

This I confirmed with what I watched on the history channel a few months ago, unless you mean that the history channel is wrong.

Please consider taking greater care of the security of your account. The block will expire in about a day, at which point you will be free to edit again. Please be sure to cite verifiable, reliable secondary sources in your edits at that point. — slakr\ talk / 00:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

- Key point: Sources must be verifiable. "The History Channel" is not sufficient information to verify a source. The title of the show and, if it's a series, episode, would allow other editors to verify the information (for example, "Good Eats, 'If It Ain't Broccoli Don't Fix It'"). —C.Fred (talk) 23:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
