Wikipedia has false and inflammatory information about the United Daughters of Confederacy listed on their site. This is a Mission Statement (without copyright) of the UDC:
Wikipedia has FALSE and INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY. BELOW IS OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

Mission: We are committed to preserving and honoring the history, heritage, and sacrifices of our Confederate ancestors, and to furthering the five objectives of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which are Historical, Educational, Benevolent, Memorial, and Patriotic to help serve our local communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jalapeno Momma (talk • contribs)

Copyright, conflict of interest and neutral point of view
Thank you for your contributions. It appears that you have created or edited an article about a company or organization. However, the following problems exist with your submission:
 * 1) You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.
 * 2) If you have a personal or professional involvement with the organization you are writing about, then you have a conflict of interest (COI). COI editors are not prohibited from contributing, but are highly discouraged to do so, due to the inherent difficulty of writing from the required neutral point of view. If you are paid to write about this organization, or are doing so in a volunteer role with this organization, you must review and comply with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy.
 * 3)  Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wishes to say about itself, or how it wants to be portrayed. Article content is formed as paraphrased summaries of previously published writings from reliable sources that are independent of the organization. No single editor owns or controls content; it is formed by consensus.  The neutral point of view policy ensures that both positive and negative information will be included, as long as it is presented with the proper balance.
 * 4) Disputes about content should be discussed calmly and rationally on the article talk page. If that fails to resolve the disagreement, the further steps of the dispute resolution process should be followed. Editors are required to assume good faith of other contributors; do not accuse others of harmful motives unless there is clear evidence to support this position.
 * 5) Editors are advised to avoid posting mission statements. They tend to be aspirational statements instead of useful and objective information about an organization. They also come from a primary source, which lacks the required independence.

I'm sorry that this message was not more favourable. If you require more assitance, please consult the Help Desk or the Teahouse for new editors. Thank you for your cooperation, and best of luck with your future edits. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:54, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
