 * I am new to editing Wikipedia articles, so I need some direction. I used (copy/pasted) text from a website that I maintain for a 501(c)3 non-profit that preserves a historic Chesapeake Bay watercraft.  I am also on the board of that non-profit, Chesapeake Heritage Conservancy.  We want to make information about our watercraft (Martha Lewis skipjack) accessible to as many people as possible and make sure that information is preserved for history as accurately and consistently as possible.  That is why I replicated descriptions contained on the website.  Can you advise me on how I might be able to accomplish this objective in Wikipedia most effectively without violating the rules. Maybe just links to the sections of the website?  We want to make sure we preserve, via Wikipedia, the history of Martha Lewis Skipjack as consistently and accurately as possible.  Looking for help!
