Welcome!
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 List of Radiolab episodes, 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:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

 * Hello, Diannaa. I'm sorry if my and other's "research" wasn't sufficient enough for an astute Wikipedian. I understand the role and potential implications of copyright when it comes to writing and publishing information, especially on a globally-known site like Wikipedia. However, I never thought my "work" would be considered copyright infringement nor were my intentions. So I'm a bit surprised since I also thought URLs under those episodes/descriptions would suffice for any sort of relevant source.
 * It seems like you deleted revisions all the way back to February 2018. I'm also wondering if those revisions were also infringing, then why were they never deleted to begin with? I don't believe this page was actively monitored, albeit for vandalism as noted in Revision History. When I came upon this page, I really wanted to help out in any way that I could. I saw this to be a small, personal project for me. I'm in my 20s and I do not treat this like a part-time job.
 * So at this point, I would believe it would be in the best interests of Wikipedia to shut down this page, as it was being considered/nominated for deletion just recently. I believe this is happening since I unintentionally disrespected copyright when I am literally one of the few actually trying to keep this page updated. But I understand and will continue to edit in a limited capacity for now on. Thank you! Articite (talk) 15:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You note that the page does not appear to be actively monitored, and it looks like that is true. Some of these copyright descriptions were added long ago, and were not discovered at the time they were added. We currently have a very good semi-automated system for detecting newly-added copyright violations, and your additions were reported to me by that system. I often see copyright material in articles of this type. Sometimes while checking the recent edits I notice long-standing content that was obviously copied from somewhere else. So I clean all the copyvio from the article. There are likely plenty of other undiscovered copyright violations on Wikipedia that may or may not be detected someday. Sorry this event has impacted your participation in the project. — Diannaa (talk) 15:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
