[edit]Although the source for the micacious entry is out of copyright, it's still wrong to copy it without attribution, even if it is perfectly legal. The single-word definition isn't a problem, but the example sentence should be labeled as a quotation with the source cited, or you should come up with a new one.

Okay, apologies and thanks; I'm fairly inexperienced with editing so wasn't sure how, although I've made the appropriate edit now and shall watch this in the future.

We generally avoid duplicating definitions; it's best to use {{alternative form of}} or a related template. The main entry (micaceous) covers all the meanings - otherwise the entries end up getting out of synch. You could see Wiktionary:Spelling variants in entry names for details. Cheers.
