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 Amal Clooney, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. 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.

Help me!
Please help me with... Hi, I updated the page Amal Clooney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amal_Clooney, using text from her profile on Doughty Street Chambers. Ms Clooney owns the text on the Doughty Street page as it was written and provided by her. I have her permission to use the text on her Wikipedia page, however, it has been removed due to copyright concerns. Please can you confirm if my changes can be reinstated as I have permission to use the text from her profile.

Thanks Pkm1900 (talk) 13:09, 28 October 2021 (UTC)


 * It's a bad idea to copy text from a web site, even with permission. Articles need to summarize what secondary sources say about a subject. Your changes will not be reinstated even if you have permission from the subject. Salimfadhley (talk) 13:32, 28 October 2021 (UTC)


 * There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about a client or someone you know is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 12:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
