Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0108793 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Agnes_Bouchez. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:41, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to get this clear. The material discussed in this entry comes from PLoS ONE, the world's largest scientific journal. All publications in PLoS ONE are licensed under creative commons and this is described in the article referred to above as: "This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.". If the article is cited, would it still be impossible to "closely paraphrase" the material as you claim was done? I.e., was the removal of this material correct?

 * Per WP:COPYOTHERS, CC-BY material can be used on Wikipedia but obviously requires attribution. You'd do that with either Template:Free-content_attribution or Template:OA-attribution. (Since it's only a couple of paragraphs, summarizing or reformulating it might be easier?) ST47 (talk) 20:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that the attribution in the form of leaving the reference to the article in the open access journal is not sufficient? I would consider removing all the revisions by Vedu888 as a bit drastic if it is only a choice of mode of attribution that is different from your suggestion above.
