- @
10mmsocket However, I paraphrased the paragraph of the article I cited, so that is not a copyright violations since there is more detail about this article. Furthermore, I used a source to verify that this content I inserted, is extremely accurate and credible for the information to be in perfect condition. I definitely wanted to edit Wikipedia for my own knowledge without being bothered by other editor, who noticed my contributions, periodt. —-:

- Your contribution included several sentences directly lifted word-for-word. Close paraphrasing and copy/pasting is not allowed - hence the reason that your contribution has now been removed and struck from the record (known as revision deletion) 10mmsocket ( talk) 17:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
