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 Barrett, Texas, 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.

 * As a general point, it should be noted that I did not author the 'material from copyrighted sources' on Barrett, Texas as notified by Diannaa at User_talk:PureRedneck. I simply moved the information from Crosby, Texas where it did not belong and made it fit into the correct place, as documented in the change log. While I am fine with the removal of the content if it violates policy, the insinuation that I authored the offending material is absurd. PureRedneck (talk) 14:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mistake. You can help me avoid this mistake in the future by including an edit summary stating where you got the content from. In fact to do so is required by the terms of our license. Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information on this topic.— Diannaa (talk) 15:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you Diannaa. I intended to add the attribution in the change summary (just as I had notated on the source of the text), but it appears this information was not saved. That is entirely my fault - and for that I apologize. PureRedneck (talk) 15:06, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
