Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Magheraveely, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances.

[edit]Hi, 51wins. Your edit on 24 February 2023 to Crom Castle, with the summary "Restore factual content", has put back a mass of text which had been copied and pasted from here. As you reverted all changes, including new text and sources, you have also put back this warning template which I had been able to remove, having sorted out the problem:
 | This article or section may have been copied and pasted from another location, possibly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. (December 2022) |
I am going to treat this as a good faith edit, but I do need to revert it, as we have a zero tolerance policy on copying and pasting text from other people's web sites. Regards, Moonraker (talk) 16:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, so just for certainty my content wasn't the issue but the fact I reverted all changes made. On that basis I will go ahead and reinstate my content and sources. 51wins (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
