- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.

- @Hemantha: It's 13 words. Does 13 words, (barely half a sentence) really constitute plagiarism/copyright? Perhaps if I changed the word expunged to expelled that would be a reasonable enough paraphrase. Whatever the case may be, please let me an appropriate way to implement this information into the article. Thanks. Sumsshire (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- If the policy doc isn't enough for you, various admins have commented that even single sentence copied from copyrighted sources without proper attribution is a violation. I don't have the time to dig up, you can search or consult any admin/experienced editor you wish to. Changing one word is not enough as the policy docs linked in the above template make clear. Do go through those articles. Hemantha (talk) 16:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
