Your question
Hello!

You left this message asking how to keep the information on Wikipedia without it being deleted. I'm glad to see that you are interested in contributing a good article so I've left a few links for you at the top of this page to familiarize yourself with some of our rules and guidelines. I know it may look like a lot of reading but it's fairly necessary to be familiar with some of these basic rules in order to be able to write a good article. As far as copyright infringement is concerned, Copyrights explains this in depth and should also provide an answer to your question of why, as a representative of the entity in question, you are not allowed to cut-and-paste text into Wikipedia. I would also like you to maybe glance through Conflict of interest to see what things you need to be careful about if you're going to write an article about yourself or an organization you represent. I hope this sheds some light on your concerns. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Sincerely, SWik78 (talk) 20:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
