Fair enough. Apologies, I'm new to editing Wikipedia. I was under the impression this would be covered by 'fair use' - it was purely factual in nature, and largely quoting from what were themselves quotes from the court case. But I can see now how not modifying the surrounding language would be a copyright problem. That's probably something I should have been more diligent about. However, I was keen to quickly get news of this court case in as it's an important piece of feedback that might be cited or viewed directly by other AI developers, and could have far reaching consequences. It highlights what can go wrong when they ignore their safety responsibilities, and its inclusion might inform better decisions that may affect us all. 77.103.133.31 (talk) 19:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh actually I see your reply is to the other user Thicat, and your comment about copyright is directed more their way. OK, well, it was useful to know regardless! Kind regards. 77.103.133.31 (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Ah, no, it was directed to you, for copying and pasting text from a news story directly into the article. From the page history it looks like Thincat was just adding a link to another news story.

No great harm done as this was caught and the text completely rewritten a few hours later, anyway. Thanks for making sure Wikipedia had covered it!

But yes, in future just make sure you write any new text in your own words. It's partly a copyright thing, and partly that Wikipedia would just look weird if it kept jumping between different styles of writing in the text (which was how I noticed the issue here, I was reading the article and surprised to see it suddenly switch into the "a court has heard" tone of a newspaper story).
