Please do not introduce
links in actual articles to
draft articles, as you did to
Pvlib python. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the
Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. -

Hello Mikofski! Your additions to
Pvlib python have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the
public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 17:07, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
> Hi Diannaa thanks for your feedback, but I'm not sure I follow, I am happy to add quotations marks if that helps, but this content is licensed as BSD-3 which allows mix and reuses with attribution which is provided, but you carte blanche removed whole parts of the article and I can't even view a diff of what you did. In the future I think it would be more civil to address issues with the article in the talk:pvlib python or on my talk page. I can't even revert your changes to see what has been removed. How do you know that the material wasn't licensed correctly? Can you please help me understand exactly what was removed? And please give me a chance to demonstrate that the material is properly licensed? -- Mikofski ( talk) 18:51, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
>> A-ha, thank you so much Diannaa! I didn't realize that link was dead. So then the only removed content was the "intro" section that quotes/paraphrases the documentation?
"INTRODUCTION: pvlib python is a community supported [open source software]
tool that provides a set of functions and classesfor simulating the [solar power]performanceof photovoltaic energy systems. pvlib python was originally ported [to Python] from the PVLIB MATLAB toolbox developed at Sandia National Laboratories and it implements many of the models and methods developedat the Labs[there]. More information on Sandia Labs PV performance modeling programs can be found at the PVPMC [ref: J.S. Stein "PVPMC" (2012)]."
If we add quotation marks and add a link to pvlib's BSD license here ( https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/master/LICENSE) would that be okay? Also I think I mostly remembered the original content, but in my opinion it was not verbatim. Is paraphrasing not sufficient? I think we can both paraphrase here more and link to the BSD license if that's better? Thanks! -- Mikofski ( talk) 20:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
