Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Gary C. Bjorklund, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

I would say that if you think my edits don't improve the post, then you're totally fine to remove or revoke them. The reason you revoked my edits, which you described as 'may not contain material from copyrighted sources,' makes no sense. These sentences are mostly pure description (i.e., facts) of the person, and if you want to paraphrase to make them less like the original post on OSA, feel free to do so.

In my view, what I did was improving the page, whereas what you did was more like trolling the policy and making the Wikipedia's quality worse. Laserdogmeasure (talk) 18:29, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
