Hi, 51wins. Your edit on 24 February 2023 to Crom Castle, with the summary "Restore factual content", has put back a mass of text which had been copied and pasted from here. As you reverted all changes, including new text and sources, you have also put back this warning template which I had been able to remove, having sorted out the problem:
 | This article or section may have been copied and pasted from another location, possibly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. (December 2022) |
I am going to treat this as a good faith edit, but I do need to revert it, as we have a zero tolerance policy on copying and pasting text from other people's web sites. Regards, Moonraker (talk) 16:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, so just for certainty my content wasn't the issue but the fact I reverted all changes made. On that basis I will go ahead and reinstate my content and sources. 51wins (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
