 # Contributions Guidelines
 
 ## Restrictions on Generative AI Usage (AI Policy)
-
+Adapted from [matplotlib's docs](https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/contribute.html#generative-ai):
 We expect authentic engagement in our community.
 
 - Do not post output from Large Language Models or similar generative AI as comments on GitHub or our discord server, as such comments tend to be formulaic and low-quality content.
