[edit]- 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.
- A Wikipedia article must be written from a neutral point of view, and must not promote its subject.
- Your user name and your editing show that this account represents an organisation, but Wikipedia policy requires that an account be only for an individual person. Therefore you should not continue to edit from this account.

Thanks for the information. Even though the username 'APADiv22' appears to be an organization, I am actually an individual hoping to publish a wikipedia page that describes the general field of Rehabilitation Psychology, not any specific organization. In fact, included in the content I attempted to publish, you can see that I have listed multiple groups and organizations that are associated with this specific sub-field of psychology. The article is written from a neutral point of view and it is not my intention to promote any one organization, or the sub-field of rehabilitation psychology, in any way.
Can you please provide some guidance as to how to successfully publish this page? Should a new account be created that more clearly reflects that the author (myself) is a single individual and not an organization? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello again- I am following up regarding the above discussion about creating a "Rehabilitation Psychology" page. I understand your concern about the page being published from a group/organization account (i.e., 'APADIV22'); however, as I stated above (and as noted by JFR2004), I am an individual involved in a task force intending to create this page in order to describe an important sub-field of psychology that has not yet been described on Wikipedia. Given the difficulty we've been having with the creation of this page from the current account, I (Chelsea Schoen) have created a new individual account from which I will be working moving forward. Please note the account username: chelseaschoen I will now attempt to create the "Rehabilitation Psychology" page once again from the new (individual) account. Thank you for your help.
