Lead section edits
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that while apparently trying to edit Brockway Motor Company you clobbered most of the contents of Lead section, presumably by accident (replacing part of that article with contents from Brockway Motor Company. I reverted your edits to Lead section so it's not a big deal, but please be a bit careful about this kind of thing in general.

Brockway Motor Company edits
I notice your edits to Brockway Motor Company appear to be pasted from the company's web site here. This is a big deal--Wikipedia has to be very careful to not use anyone else's copyrighted material unless it's suitably licensed. Our policies about this are at Copyright. If you check the links at the welcome blurb above there should be more info. It's always good to have a new editor contributing to Wikipedia, however, we have to be super-vigilant about copyright issues. Of all the different mistakes new editors make, this is one of the most serious, so please be sure to only contribute stuff that you wrote yourself (or is GFDL-compatibly licensed, a complicated enough area that you probably don't want to deal with it for now).

I've reverted your edits to Brockway Motor Company--please don't reinsert copied material again. Of course it's great if you expand the article with your own writing, using the Brockway site and other reliable sources as a source of facts. (Always make sure to cite whatever sources you use).

Anyway, welcome again, and don't be upset, it takes a while to get the hang of this place and everyone makes errors at first.
