Welcome!

Hello, Nina McCloskey, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

You can find answers to many student questions in our FAQ.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:45, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Your draft

I moved your draft back to your sandbox. Instead of creating a duplicate article, you need to make improvements to the existing Deforestation in Brazil article. If you need a refresher on how to do this, please review this training module or this video.

Before you do this, please make sure that your adequately sourced, and based primarily on high quality reliable sources. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be tied directly to a reliable source. After the statement, there should be a source. You can use a single source to support several sentences in a row, if it supports everything you say in those sentences, but you need to have at least one source per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any text after the final reference in a paragraph (because that content is effectively unsourced).
