Welcome![edit]
Hello, Ajhall5, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Bamboo Union[edit]
Hi! It looks like someone removed the list of rules from the article, citing that it was a copyright violation. Listing rules is kind of tricky, since you did cite where you got the material from and the point of listing them was to list them as they were written. I think that it would be better to give a general overview of what the rules entail rather than list them individually, as it would take up a lot of room to list individually and posting the rules would be a sort of grey area. If you do want to list them, I would recommend doing something like "According to the United Bamboo's Code of Ethics that was seized by the Los Angeles County's Sheriff Department, the gang has a "code of ethics" that has ten rules that all members must obey, which are listed as follows:" (and then list the rules). You would follow this up with the cited source. This attribution should hopefully be enough to keep it from getting removed again.
I went through and did a little editing for style and flow, but I also removed the list of groups that were in Chinese. A list of this nature (since there are 68 branches) would be just too long to have on the page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 06:31, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
