Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Leptoceridae, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. 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.

 * Thank you so much! I am trying to fix this and find sources with suitable copyright. I had the textbooks physically on hand for my personal studies and did not consider problems with copyright when doing this...

 * In almost every case, the documents we want to use as sources are copyright. That means that we need to write our own content, in our own words. — Diannaa (talk) 11:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
