- Even if you see the DSM criteria being posted in full on social media or reproduced in reliable sources, that doesn't mean that it's legal for Wikipedia to do so.
- The publishers of the DSM have previously contacted Wikipedia about this problem, and they do not give permission for Wikipedia to reproduce and distribute their copyrighted content.
