I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles. Please excuse my lack of knowledge in this arena. I recently edited the WestPoint Home article. The information I added was deleted because of copyright problems. I used and referenced historical information that I found online (fundinguniverse.com). The same information (word for word) can also be found on answers.com and highbeam.com (http://www.answers.com/topic/westpoint-stevens-inc#ixzz1eUekT1EI, http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G2-2842000165.html). I guess I need help on how to do this the right way. I don't see how several sites can use the same exact copy and I can't put it up on Wikipedia. I'm just trying to update Wikipedia's info on this company. My friend works for the company and I told him that a textile company with a 200 year history as rich as this should be better represented on Wikipedia. Please Help. Thanks, Greg Fuller
 * No problem, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for helping out! Here's a quick summary of copyright on Wikipedia, with links to more detailed explanations.
 * You might also want to check out the Organizations FAQ, which describes many of the problems people tend to run into when writing about businesses on Wikipedia. In particular, make sure you avoid promoting the company!  Sentences like "WestPoint Home’s goal of being the 'preferred supplier of fashion and core home textile products' is backed by almost 200 years of textile history" sound like advertising, which isn't allowed.  Similarly, make sure you avoid deleting negative information about the company, like its recent bankruptcy.
 * If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thanks again for working to improve the article, and good luck!  --mconst (talk) 09:35, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
