Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

 * It's 13 words. Does 13 words, (barely half a sentence) really constitute plagiarism/copyright? Perhaps if I changed the word expunged to expelled that would be a reasonable enough paraphrase. Whatever the case may be, please let me an appropriate way to implement this information into the article. Thanks. Sumsshire (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If the policy doc isn't enough for you, various admins have commented that even single sentence copied from copyrighted sources without proper attribution is a violation. I don't have the time to dig up, you can search or consult any admin/experienced editor you wish to. Changing one word is not enough as the policy docs linked in the above template make clear. Do go through those articles. Hemantha (talk) 16:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
