Your edit to Talk:The Holocaust has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Hi ScissorMeRamses! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Death by burning that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello Meters! Thank you for the heads up, I'll be sure to take a closer look at the help page for that. Please pardon me for posting the abstract on the talk page; I didn't know it was a copyright violation. ScissorMeRamses (talk) 01:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

The page is clearly marked "© 2022 American Association for the Advancement of Science", and even if the copyright were not listed, we have to assume that web content is copyrighted unless explicitly marked otherwise. You cannot simply copy material from the web. Meters (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! ScissorMeRamses (talk) 01:59, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ScissorMeRamses", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it references sex acts. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing.
