Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.S Philbrick(Talk) 12:15, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: There were claims in the article that were unsourced and seemed promotional. I attempted to provide a citation to verify, but I guess a more reliable source is needed. I apprecitae the memo. Chinogrids (talk) 05:38, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Warnings and welcomes

"Welcomes" like this are unnecessarily bitey and unhelpful. Please do not leave such messages and please read WP:ILLEGIT. Both editors you mentioned haven't ever even edited mainspace or made any violation of WP:ILLEGIT. Praxidicae (talk) 14:26, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
