Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

Copyrights
I have once again reverted your edits to Blue Creek Rainforest Preserve. You copied text verbatim from here and here, in violation of Wikipedia copyright rules, and you added a completely irrelevant section titled "Why preserve rainforests". Please do not add copyright violating material to Wikipedia again, or else you will risk being blocked. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:05, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
