Request edit on 18 July 2017 edit

I have edited the two sections which were flagged for copyright issues. Hasan.iftekhar (talk) 10:01, 1 August 2017 (UTC)IftekharReply

Hasan.iftekhar, the copyright violations in this page went right back to the original version, so none of the content could safely be kept. There was in any case not one single independent reliable source for any of what was here. Please note that as a declared paid editor you should limit your contributions to the talk-page, this page, and refrain from making direct edits to the article – please see the advice below.

Copyright problem removed edit

  Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://web.archive.org/web/20090520192045/http://www.astri.org/en/mission.php and other pages of the company's website. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest edit

More than one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
