Bellagio99, you have reinserted copyrighted material from the UPenn website, which in its footer clearly has a copyright sign. It says nowhere that we can verbatim copypaste their contents, so what you have done with this reversion is copyright infringement. Just because text has been on Wikipedia "for years", does not mean that it is exempted from copyright rules. Feel free to rewrite it in a much less verbatim way (and with more reliable sources than just the man's personal staff website, which is WP:PRIMARY), but until then, the copyvio should be removed per WP:COPYVIO and WP:copy-paste. - HyperGaruda (talk) 07:30, 28 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, you have reverted the removal of persondata. Please be aware that it has been deprecated, according to WP:Persondata deprecated and should thus be removed. - HyperGaruda (talk) 07:41, 28 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Exactly so, HyperGaruda! – please see below. Bellagio99, if you look at the foot of this archived version of his bio, you will see a clear notice "© 2001 THE ANNENBERG SCHOOL FOR COMMUNICATION". Please take care not to add copyright violations to Wikipedia again. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:13, 17 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
