Welcome!
Hello, Sinnamorato, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

GLAAD
Hi! I received a notification that you had posted content from an outside source onto the GLAAD article, meaning that it set off the plagiarism and copyright detector. While you did cite the source and put the content you used in quotations, I still had to whittle this section down to make it better fit policy. The quotes were a bit too numerous and they didn't really seem necessary to the information that you were trying to get across. They also made the section seem fairly promotional. This is something to be careful about when using quotes and with editing in general because while this definitely wasn't your intent, using outside content definitely can make it harder to keep the content more neutral.

Offhand I think that you may want to look into adding more information to the article about the organization's overall history. The source you used said that GLAAD was in a crisis when she took office, however the article doesn't really have any information about this - something that should be rectified.
