 * 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.
 * Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle promoting or advertising anything, which is what your user page appeared to be. JBW (talk) 22:11, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's rather insensitive to say it's advertising when advocating for the rights of a marginzalized community. especailly with wikipedia residing on the lands of those marginalized peoples. Ethanbkc (talk) 01:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia policy does not allow promotion of any kind, no matter how good a cause may be promoted. You are free to try to seek to get that policy changed, but as long as it is policy you need to comply with it. The page you created was unsmbiguously intended to promote the work of the Northwest Indigenous Council; the fact that you evidently think it is a noble cause and deserves promotion does not change that.
