You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.

Thanks for the feedback. I have since corrected (removed) the paragraph that could be construed as copyright infringement. I trust that the updated version now meets Wikipedia's standard. If not please reply accordingly. Gidz (talk) 10:11, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
