Hi Diannaa, thanks for your feedback on my contribution. The sources cited are actually publicly available for reference (which is how I was able to reference them). I will certainly clarify in the article that the ISO standards are copyright however the definitions contained in the article references are in the public domain (with a source citation). Are you able to reinstate the content that was removed so I can provide the required clarifications? Otherwise I will have to create the entry all over again. Thank you, Watkins24440 (talk) 13:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Watkins24440. Sorry but the page where I found the matching content is marked as "© ISO 2020" so I am unable to reinstate the copied content unless you can prove that the material is in the public domain. -- Diannaa (talk) 17:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, the material that is in the public domain is found here https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/en/#iso:std:iso:8000:-2:ed-5:v1:en
