Charities Directorate of Canada
I'm sorry you were experiencing some sort of database glitch when you were attempting to edit your sandbox. I hope that gets resolved in the normal course of things.

In looking at your draft, I see that essentially all of your sources are the agency talking about itself. I want to advise you that you need more diversity of sources or the draft won't be able to be accepted as an article. The contents of a Wikipedia article should be written by summarizing what independent writers or reporters have to say about the subject, not - or to only a very minor extent - based on what the subject says about itself.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 02:05, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Catherine Jarry. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Charities Directorate of Canada, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jack Frost (talk) 04:51, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
