[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Serverless computing, 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. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
- Copying text from other sources

- Policy and guideline on non-free content
If you still have questions, there is the teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

Techphile (talk) 19:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC) Thank you Dianaa. It is refreshing to find an editor like you who is supportive and helpful.
I am used to academic publishing where if you cite a paper you can take some text from it. In this case, it was like two sentences. However, I understand now that Wikipedia norms are different and I have changed the text.
