+### Why some comments are not preserved in emitted JavaScript even when `--removeComments` is not specified?
+
+TypeScript compiler uses a position of a node in the abstract syntax tree to retrieve its comments during emit.
+Because, the compiler does not store all tokens into the tree, some comments may be missed in an output JavaScript file.
+For example, we do not store following tokens into the tree `,`, `{`, `}`, `(`, `)`.
+Therefore, trailing comments or leading comments of such token cannot be retrieved during emit.
+At the moment, there is not an easy method to preserve such comments without storing those tokens.
+Doing so, however, can significantly increase the tree size and potentially have performance impact.
+
+Some cases where TypeScript compiler will not be able to preserve your comments:
+
+```ts
+/* comment */
+<div>
+    {/* comment will not be emitted */}
+</div>
+
+var x = {
+    prop1: 1, // won't get emit because we can't retrieve this comment
+    prop2: 2  // will be emit
+}
+
+function foo() /* this comment can't be preserved */ { }
+```
+
+
+### Why Copyright comments are removed when `--removeComments` is true?
+
+TypeScript compiler will preserve copyright comment regardless of `--removeComments`.
+For a comment to be considered a copyright comment, it must have following characteristics:
+
+- a top-of-file comment following by empty line, separating it from the first statement.
+- begin with `/*!`

 In other words, if I ask for a `fork`, a `spork` is an acceptable *substitute* because it has the same functions and properties of a `fork` (three prongs and a handle).
 
+### Trailing, leading, and detached comments
+TypeScript classifies comments into three different types:
+
+- Leading comment  : a comment before a node followed by newline.
+- Trailing comment : a comment after a node and in the same line as the node.
+- Detached comment : a comment that is not part of any node such as copyright comment.
+```ts
+/*! Top-of-file copyright comment is a detached comment*/
+
+/* Leading comments of the function AST node*/
+function foo /*trailing comments of the function name, "foo", AST node*/ () {
