Your addition to Xbox One system software has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.  McDoob AU93  23:59, 28 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I received your e-mail message, and will respond here. The reason I reverted your change was that the content of your edit was directly lifted from Microsoft's website. Content on websites is copyrighted by the site's owner, in this case Microsoft. Wikipedia does not permit copyrighted content unless a claim of fair use is made. That doesn't work in the case of prose edits that could easily be rewritten to say the same thing, then using the Microsoft page as the source for the information. For an idea of what I mean, compare what we have listed for update 11393 versus the Microsoft page. You'll see we're saying basically the same thing, but not copying it directly, or even very closely. In future, we need to make sure we follow this methodology instead of simply copying and pasting directly from another site. Let me know here if you have any other questions or comments. -- McDoob  AU93  13:09, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
