Please do not add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Griffin Memorial Hospital., or  you may be blocked from editing.  DGG ( talk ) 16:48, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

In addition, please be aware of our rules on Conflict of Interest. If you are associated with an organization, either directly or as a paid editor, you must declare this. See our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure

In addition, Wikipedia may not be used for the purposes of promotion-- we are not a directory. Our articles describe the subject, not advocate for it or praise it, and are directed not to prospective clients of contributors, but to the general public who may want the sort of information found in encyclopdias. See also our rules on what  makes an organization notable. (In terms of hospitals, it is unfortunately not all that easy to find adequate third-party sources

The additions you made to Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services do not all conform to our policy. For example, "The mission of the ODMHSAS is to promote healthy communities and provide the highest quality of care to enhance the well-being of all Oklahomans. The ODMHSAS vision is that services will promote productive lifestyles and set the national standard for prevention, treatment, and recovery for those affected by mental illness and substance abuse disorders" is not acceptable encyclopedic writing.

In addition, according to our basic policy on  verifiability ,all material added to WP must be referenced to  reliable sources; in the case of anything other than straight description, they must be independent sources published by third parties, not press releases or mere announcements

Furthermore, the manner of referencing in the material you added in the last section indicates clearly it has been copied from another source--it includes the reference numbers, but not the actual references. This is not permitted. For anything published elsewhere, even if an official state document, We can not use it here without a full free license under the formalities of WP:DCM, which irrevocably permits anyone in the world for using, modify, and distributing it for any purpose, even commercial, and this license must be given by someone authorized to do so. But doing this is not advised, for material on a website or previous publication is usually written in a promotional manner, and is generally not suitable for an encyclopedia. It is better to rewrite.

Given your apparent connection with the organization, the acceptable way to start a new article is to  use   Articles for Creation. There you can have your text evaluated and worked on by other editors to ensure it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion. If you want to make additions to a page, if they are plain uncontroversial factual update, you may make them directly on the page, adding each time a reference to a eligible source, but if they are anything involving judgment or interpretation, they must be suggested on the talk page first.
