Talk:Nairatmya

message: In the references of this article, it states: "This entry is a slightly edited version of the introduction to Nairatmya in Miranda Eberle Shaw's Buddhist Goddesses of India. Princeton University Press. 2006. p. 387. ." I checked the book Buddhist Goddesses of India, pp. 387-402, and this appears to be true. 
For example, the first sentence of the third paragraph of this article, starting with "Nairātmyā's body is blue . . ." is word for word identical to the book (p. 387) without quotation marks or a reference. The rest of this article's third paragraph are indeed almost word for word lifted from the book without quotation marks or proper referencing, even though there is a note of this at the bottom of the page in the reference section. 
My sense is that this is a copyright issue. And as a result, the entry needs to be rewritten. Since I'm so new to editing, I don't know how to handle this, or what the process is. Any comments, thoughts, suggestions? Thanks folks. Best, AD64 (talk) 02:53, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Unfortunately, AD64 seems to no longer be an active account. Currently, the article is not citing any sources at all. There was a list of sources that was blanked out by Justlettersandnumbers, and then the remaining source was removed by an edit of 16:33, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the ping, . I've restored the sourced text and reference that I added after removing the copyvio – as no explanation was given for its removal – and removed some unsourced stuff. I'm sorry that I have neither the knowledge nor the interest to add further to the page. Perhaps a note at WT:BUDDHISM? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the improvement. At least the article has some source cited now. Hopefully someone will come along and expand it (with sourcing). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
