Apologies. I am sometimes prone to forget copyrights when editing. I'll try harder in future. I enjoy editing and don't want to be banned for copyright violation.

I want to reinsert the paragraph. I have changed it to the following. Tried to put things into my own words. Is this OK?

According to the the Migration Policy Institute, approximately 4.4 million Caribbean immigrants lived in the United States in 2017. The largest immigrant Caribbean groups are from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. Overall, there are 8 million people who were either born in the Caribbean or who have Caribbean ancestry.

According to a report in the International Business Times, Caribbean immigrants fair better than the general immigrant population in terms of high school graduation and some soci-economic indicators. According to the Migration Policy Institute, Caribbeans are far more likely to become naturalised American citizens than other immigrant groups. Caribbeans tend to be more proficient in English and are likely to be employed at the same rate as the general immigrant population. Caribbean immigrants are much more likely to have health care insurance than other immigrant populations. According to a report drawn from Immigration Studies (CIS), various Latin American and Caribbean communities are among the top immigrant home owners in America. These success stories are primarily why Caribbean-Americans have been described as a model minority. Koppite1 (talk) 06:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Koppite1. It's certainly better but there are a few parts that still look pretty close to the original source wording. It seems like you might still be starting with the source sentences in some cases and reordering or replacing words with their synonyms, but this results in close paraphrasing (in which the source material is only superficially modified). I sometimes find it helpful to read the source, then try to summarize it without directly referring to it (of course you can look at it afterwards, but this might help avoid the temptation of using the same or substantially similar phrasing). Hope that makes sense. DanCherek (talk) 11:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I think i've changed it as much as i can now. Hope this is good enough to reinsert in the article.

In 2017, there were approximately 4.4milliion Caribbean immigrants in the US. Overall, there are 8million people of Caribbean heritage. Cubans, Dominicans, Jamaicans, Haitians, and Trinidad and Tobagans are the largest groups. Caribbeans are likely to be employed at the same rate as the general immigrant population and at a higher rate than native born Americans

According to a report in the International Business Times, Caribbean immigrants perform better than the general immigrant population in terms of high school graduation rates and some soci-economic indicators. In comparison to other immigrant groups, Caribbeans are far more likely to be naturalised American citizens, display a better standard of English and have a greater tendency for have health insurance cover. According to a report drawn from Immigration Studies (CIS), various Caribbean communities are among the top immigrant home owners in America.

These success stories are primarily why some Caribbean-Americans have been described as a model minority. Koppite1 (talk) 12:03, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I would give it a quick grammar check, but that is better in terms of copyright. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 14:29, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Max Verstappen shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Take your own advice and seek consensus before unilaterally removing long standing, important text Koppite1 (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Just because false information was overlooked for a considerable time, it doesn’t make it non-removable. It was still false.Tvx1 16:06, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

It's not false information. The safety car was brought in a lap early, contrary to the standard procedure. Next time seek consensus before taking it upon yourself to remove pertinent text Koppite1 (talk) 16:20, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

It is false, because the quoted regulation is not the only applicable one. There is no consenus among reliable sources that safety car was called in “too early”. Besides, an can equally claim it was called in “too late”.Tvx1 16:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Maybe you are new to F1, but standard procedure dictates the safety car comes in the following lap and it's upon that understanding that teams plan strategy. The safety car going in a lap earlier than standard protocol was crucial in giving Verstappen the chance he got. Now rather than rehashing the same old points, let's wait for some talk page consensus. If the majority agree with you and don't want it included, then so be it--but at least get some consensus/opinions on it Koppite1 (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
