Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Internet in the Philippines, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! To add to what Donner said: it's great to cite the source, but we can't just copy paragraphs or a whole article into Wikipedia. Rather, we seek to create original summaries of the most important information, which do not violate the author's copyright.

Because of this, I've used your citation to reference the recent increase with some original text. More could be said using it, but the story's own text can't be copied. Thank you for identifying the story it came from, though! GreenReaper (talk) 03:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
