Your user page

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) The text you posted was unambiguously promotional, which is not allowed by Wikipedia policy.
 * 3) You may have intended the page to be a draft for an article, rather than a user page. If so then it would be much better to create the page in "draftspace", which simply means give it a title starting with "Draft:" such as "Draft:Rappahannock Regional Jail". A user page is for giving a little information about oneself in connection with one's work for Wikipedia. JBW (talk) 13:58, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

After I posted my message above it occurred to me what your username is an acronym for. If you are connected to someone or something you have written about, such as the organisation you work for, then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is. (To avoid the possibility of a surprisingly common misunderstanding, editing is part of paid work if it is done as part of normal employment or as part of a work to a contract, whether or not a specific payment earmarked for editing Wikipedia is made.) Finally, Wikipedia policy is that a user account is for one person acting in their personal capacity, and accounts representing businesses or other organisations are not allowed. You should therefore not continue to edit under your present username, but a username such as "Marilyn at Rappahannock Regional Jail" would be OK, and would combine transparency about your connection to the jail with an indication that your account is an individual one. If anyone else working with you wishes to edit then they should create a separate account, rather than sharing one account. JBW (talk) 14:11, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
