Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. 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:

• Copying text from other sources
• Policy on copyright
• Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
• Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! DanCherek (talk) 01:23, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Please stop adding text from copyrighted sources to that article. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

July 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, you may be blocked from editing. DanCherek (talk) 01:37, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jpaul17, just to elaborate a bit more on this: the text you are adding is copied from [1], which has a copyright notice at the bottom of the webpage ("Copyright © 2021 Elsevier"). Because the text has not been released into the public domain or under a license that is compatible with Wikipedia, it cannot be copied into the article. I encourage you to read Wikipedia's copyright policies linked above in my first message for more information. Thank you! DanCherek (talk) 02:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
