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 Jeffrey Sachs, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. 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:

- The Edit Summary given by Hipal when reverting my latest update to the Jeffery_Sachs article said: "Undid revision 1208939216 by Nick Nitpicker (talk) SOAP". I was surprised at that because I wasn't attempting my update to be a soapbox or to advocate anything. I simply intended to make the article more neutral and balanced by including Sachs' reply to the points made by Garry, since both of them made those points in their letters to PNAS. Since the article is about Sachs, I would think that his points would be at least as relevant (if not more so) as Garry's points.
- Are you saying that Hipal reverted my update due to copyright concerns (and not SOAP)? Nick Nitpicker (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
