Personal greeting:

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I recently reverted a change you made to Concerned Christians Canada Inc. (By the way, if you click on the link with the text, "reverted", you will see the change I made.) I did this for three reasons:
 * 1) The text was a copy of a web page, About CCC: According to the Wikipedia's policy about copyright, it is a copyright violation to copy text from a source without the copyright holder giving permission and releasing a freely copiable licence (like the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License). (There are exceptions for brief quotations used in accordance with non-free content policy and guideline.)
 * 2) The text was unsourced: According to the Wikipedia policies of verifiability and no "original research", all article content needs to be attributable to a reliable source. While the About CCC page would probably be accepted as reliable for factual information (name, address, phone number, chairman, mission statement) about the CCC, it cannot form the bulk of the article and it cannot be used as a source for unduely self-serving statements. (See the following sections in Wikipedia policy of verifiability: Self-published sources and Self-published sources as sources on themselves). Because of this, you will need to find a news article (not an editorial!) that says what you want to say.
 * 3) If I am interpreting your username correctly, you have a special interest in the CCC. In that case, you might want to following the conflict of interest guideline, (guidelines are less manditory than policies) especially the section, Editors who may have a conflict of interest.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia. I look forward to working with you to add verifiable and sourced information on all different kinds of topics!
