Copyright problem removed

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from the German Wikipedia and at least one other unidentified German source. See Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2022 May 8 which includes a link to a translation of the German article on the date the material was included. Some, but not all, of the content is from that source. Other content was plainly sourced from other articles, Wikipedia or otherwise, given multiple styles and numbers of citation.

The material has been removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) If it was in fact all copied from other Wikipedia articles, it may be restored with proper attribution.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:07, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Stub and Citation Needed templates - 30 May 2022

@Moonriddengirl, with due respect to the removal of the copyrighted content, the article had become a stub without citations. So, I used the removed material, and added back (lots of) important information in my own words (or understanding). Most typos and grammatical errors have been fixed; plus 5 new citations were added into the article along with 2 new images. Keeping this in mind, I removed the two maintenance templates and resolved the copyright problem. Please review this article, since this is my first big contribution to Wikipedia.

Thank you for your assistance in helping to improve Wikipedia! Sugeeth Jayaraj (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sugeeth Jayaraj, thank you for your work on the article. The issue was not with the validity of the content but instead the copyright issues. If you have added back any of the content that was removed without rewriting it from scratch, you must follow the directions provided in the copyright notice above. Otherwise, we cannot legally publish this. I am agnostic to the content of the article itself; my interaction with it is purely administrative, so I'm afraid that I am not the best person to review the article. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:10, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had rewritten everything from scratch. Thank you for your assistance, @Moonriddengirl! Sugeeth Jayaraj (talk) 17:30, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, thank you @Emeraude for reviewing and correcting this article! Sugeeth Jayaraj (talk) 17:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
