 * Before telling an editor to add information directly into the article, please make sure it is not copyrighted/closely paraphrased from the organizations website and adequately sourced. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:32, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm a little confused. If I am supposed to help expand it, and I did just that by citing sources and doing some relative paraphrasing from the website, why is that bad? It provides much more context to the article than before. I'm also not linked to GMC in any form or fashion. SirDoesHomework (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there and thanks for this reply. I am more than happy to clarify. All content on Wikipedia must be verifiable. This means that all content must be backed up by a source. A lot of your paragraphs were closely paraphrased from the organizations website and/or unsourced. This is absolutely not allowed. The advice you were given above should have specified on that, and I apologize for the subsequent confusion. Alongside with all content being verifiable, it must also be cited to reliable sources, which we usually like to be by a third party. Wikipedia isn't meant to be another website the organization/business can use to advertise. All content on Wikipedia must be neutrally worded as well. This is one reason why third party sources are preferred. Adding appropriate links to expand on knowledge is great but they belong under an "External Links" header (if they pass our guidelines) not in the body of the article. Since it is quite clear you have a conflict of interest (COI), please read the helpful links below on how to proceed. Some of the advice includes how to properly disclose a COI and how to edit from hereonout. If you have further questions, don't be afraid to drop me a line or ask at the new editor help desk. Cheers!
