Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.

This was the particular issue with your article. It appeared to have been copied from Wisconsin's DNR website. Now I realise that you may have only done this with good intentions of trying to contribute to Wikipedia, but we have a really strict policy of enforcing copyrights. If you want to do an article on Ableman's Gorge, great! - but it must be written by you, not copied from someone else. What you can do is go back to your source, copy their text, and then rewrite it in your own words, so that it is not a copy. This is fine, and perfectly acceptable, since (of course!) you will provide their page as one of the sources for your article. I hope this helps.

• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to .
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
