Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights.

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:

- Thanks for reaching out to me and I understand your qualms about the copyright thing. Can I still keep in the extra detail surrounding his death and remove the poem and it's subsequent translation from the citation I cited? Raja725828 (talk) 23:16, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Also regarding the poem. The poem isn't owned by anyone as it as an oral tradition in the area, as stated by the author himself. The translation to English is done by the author though. Raja725828 (talk) 23:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's okay to include the poem, but not the translation, because it generates a new copyright. Please feel free to add the details about the death but re-write it completely using your own words. Cite your sources. — Diannaa (talk) 01:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Your edits at Punjabi Muslims edit
You had just re-instated previously removed content, and did not improve the citations in any way, which are unreliable because they are either primary or colonial era sources. Also, such information may have some relevancy at the main article for Gakhars but is definitely undue for this particular article. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
