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:

Help me!
Please help me with... I'm not sure why all the content was removed nor why I can not see my original edits (they were removed from public). It was written by Amir's spouse herself (Shahrzad Mojab) specifically for his wikipedia page. Smojab (talk) 01:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The Welcome message at the top of this page tells you what happened. The text you added was a copyright violation, which is impermissible. Be careful: if you add it again, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh I see now - huge chunks of the text she wrote for this page were taken directly from that biography with zero paraphrasing or re-writing. My bad. I thought it was written from scratch specifically for Wikipedia. Thank you for taking the time to clarify! Smojab (talk) 01:24, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
