Welcome!
editHello, 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 The Madhouse (novel), 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.

- @Diannaa sorry, I didn't know that, but for future reference, how can I add plot descriptions without copyright Vandelvamp (talk) 20:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- We write our own content. Don't try to do a plot description unless you've read the book (or seen the film if it's an article about a film). — Diannaa (talk) 00:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
