Thank you for improving the article. I however had to remove a large part of your edits since it was copied from a non-free external source. This represents copyright violation and we can not accept it. Please re-write the important parts of the text in your own words, still add the reference, then it becomes acceptable.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ymblanter, my intention was indeed to include the biosketch from the cited source almost verbatim (I mostly changed verbs to past tense). I am familiar with scholarly attribution standards and I assumed it was enough to cite the source of the biosketch for attribution. Isabel permitted the use of this and similar versions of her biosketch in press releases and other sites referring to her. Would it be OK to reintroduce the biosketch into the Wikipedia page as is within quotes and add a sentence like this before it?

″The biosketch below was written by Isabel Cruz and appears on her website [citation and URL]. It is incorporated into this page verbatim."

As she passed away recently, many people are accessing her Wikipedia page and it would be good to have a biosketch in there.

If the above does not conform with the Wikipedia standards, I will rewrite the biosketch. Thanks, Rt00000000 (talk) 16:06, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It is much safer to rewrite the biosketch. Such a large quote would soon or later invite questions whether it is really a fair use, and whether we nee it, and you do not want to have these discussions. If you need to help in rewriting, please let me know, I am a university professor and a scientist myself, though from a different field.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
