Copyright violation
[edit]I've removed the biographical material you added to Thaddeus Dryja because it was copied from his web page here. Wikipedia takes such copyright violations very seriously. Everything you write here must be in your own words, as well as include a reference. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:18, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

- Hi Jay8g:
- thanks for the note. I didn’t realize the coi requirements I am Thaddeus Dryja and I edited the piece to make it more factual. I included many references so that all statements can be validated. I receive no compensation at all for any part of it.
- Please let me know how to proceed. Is there any way to include the information I added which I believe is objective and adds to Wikipedia’s value? 32.220.125.237 (talk) 14:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
