Welcome!
editHello, Am12827, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

- Hi! I noticed that much of what you added to Wikipedia was deleted as a copyright violation. All content must be written in your own words - you cannot closely paraphrase or directly take content from another source unless it is explicitly marked as placed in the public domain or released under a compatible copyright. Even then it's best to write it in your own words, as in many cases the content is not written in an encyclopedic style and may contain content that would either be considered non-neutral and/or original research in the way it was written. If any of the remaining content is taken from another source you must re-write it. It doesn't matter if you cite the source, it would still be seen as a copyright violation and plagiarism. I would like for you to go over the plagiarism module before adding more content.
- I also note that there already seems to be an article on the Chorographic Commission, so I've moved your work there. The reason for this is that there should only be one article and this way there will be one article that has quite a bit of content. You should make sure that you let your teacher know that the content was merged into another article so they can review your work. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:26, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Can you check to see if I did it right this time before people jump all over me
