No Wikipedia contributions are copyrighted. By pressing that little "Save 
page" button, you submit every single one of your contributions liscensed 
under the GFDL. That means anyone (yes, anyone) can use what you wrote, as 
long as they follow the licensing rules. Wikipedia using your work isn't 
"theft"; it's free. Let me quote from the bottom of the page in the "edit 
page" view, which you saw every time you edited a page.:

> DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!

> - *If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and

> Furthermore, now that you have been banned, you have no rights on 
Wikipedia. That is the simple fact. By the ruling of the administration, you 
are not welcome to edit on Wikipedia. See [[WP:BAN]]. We don't need any 
other evidence posted on your talk page; your legal threats and personal 
attacks stored forever in the page history stand for themselves. And yes, we 
are in the habit of "suppressing" trolls on Wikipedia. That's how we keep 
writing a free encyclopedia for every single person in the world.
