Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Genetic disorder has been reverted. Your edit here to Genetic disorder was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.scitechnol.com/scholarly/genetic-disorders--journals-articles-ppts-list.php) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Provenance
(I don't understand the above section - my comments are separate from that.)

Here's the fun thing about Wikipedia and academic and professional publishing. It can be hard to tell: which came first? Who is 'quoting' who?

Note this edit way back in April 2013. Note the edit summary mentioning a valid reason for the insertion that then made the text read "the same". Is this 'copying'?

In fact, note that references in the article you link to. The first dates are from 2014, so possibly the text at top is from 2014 also? Is it possible they copied from the Wikipedia article?

These are very much muddy waters, and what seen as 'apparent' may be due to the lens used to view a situation.

And indeed, you mention the "first paragraph", and yet it is just the first sentence. As such, it may not even be copying (by whomever) but rather collision and duplication.

In this world and these times, even an exact duplication of one sentence does not make for 'copying'. See Hanlon's razor. Shenme (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
