Wikipedia cannot and will not accept copyrighted content copied from elsewhere. Only content that is in the public domain, or has been released by the copyright owner under a CC-BY-SA license or a compatible free license may be copied, and even those must be properly attributed, and may not be suitable. See Wikipedia's copyright policy for more information.

Brief quotations may be used if they are properly attributed, marked as quotations, and cited to a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Quotations for more details on this.

If a text or image belongs to you (usually because you created it) belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have the owner's permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you might obtain it.

The page User:DESiegel, which you created or contributed to, was tagged as a copyright violation. I confirmed that it was a copy, and deleted it accordingly.

Please, in future do not copy content from other websites to insert into Wikipedia. Facts must be supported by reliable sources, but article content must be written in your own original words. Repeatedly inserting copyrighted content in ways not allowed by Wikipedia policy can lead to a user being blocked from editing.

• First, review our guideline on notability, our specific guideline on the notability of organizations. Consider whether your organization (or the site it runs) clearly meets the standards listed there.
• Second, read Your First Article and referencing for beginners and again consider if you want to go ahead.
• Third, Disclose your connection with the group in accordance with WP:PAID. This is absolutely required, omitting it can result in you being blocked from further editing.
• Fourth, Gather sources. You want independent professionally published reliable sources that each discuss the organization in some detail. If you can't find several such sources, stop, an article will not be created. Sources do NOT need to be online, although it is helpful if at least some are. The independent part is vital in this case. Not press releases, nor news stories based on press releases, or anythign published by the organization itself or its affiliates. Not strictly local coverage. Regional or national newspapers or magazines, books published by mainstream publishers (not self-published), or scholarly journals are usually good. (Additional sources may verify particular statements but not discuss the org in detail. But those significant sources are needed first.)
• Fifth, use the article wizard to create a draft under the articles for creation project. This is always a good idea for an inexperienced editor, but in your case with the conflict of interest it is essential.
• Sixth, use the sources gathered before (and other sources you may find along the way) to write the article. Cite all significant statements to sources. Do not express opinions or judgements, unless they are explicitly attributed to named people or entities, preferably in a direct quotation, and cited to a source. Do not use puffery or marketing-speak. Provide page numbers, dates, authors and titles for sources to the extent these are available. A title is always needed.
• Seventh, when (well perhaps if) your draft is rejected, pay attention to the comments of the reviewer, and correct the draft and resubmit it. Repeat this until the draft passes review.

Congratulations, you have now created a valid Wikipedia article. DES [[User talk:DESiegel|^(talk)
