The article SERVE – Sri Lanka is unambiguously promotional in character, clearly being written with the purpose of impressing the reader with the view that "SERVE" is a noble and beneficial organisation. However, Wikipedia policy requires that articles be written from a neutral point of view, and such promotional or partisan editing is therefore not acceptable. Another problem concerns copyright. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. For those reasons, the article will be deleted.

You should also be aware that Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest indicate that you should not be creating an article on a subject to which you have a close personal connection, such as an organisation you work for, whether for pay or as a volunteer. Furthermore, if your editing of Wikipedia forms all or part of work for which you receive pay or any other compensation, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you and exactly what your relationship to them is, whether they may be your employer, client, or whatever.
