Welcome
editHello, Andrewjr g, 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.

Plagiarism/copyvio
editHi! I'm the content expert for your course and I received a notification that you had posted content from another source, namely the Twitter business page. This is seen as plagiarism and a copyright violation, as it is content that was previously published elsewhere and comes across like you are posting this content as your original work, even if this is not your intent. Closely paraphrasing (as you did with another, later edit) is still seen as plagiarism and a copyright violation. I would like you to review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further.
I also have to note that the content was fairly promotional in tone, as the content on the Twitter business page was specifically written in order to draw in businesses and encourage them to sign up with an account by listing all of the most positive aspects of being on Twitter. Content must be written in a neutral tone and ideally it should not rely solely on a primary source since as stated above, they're going to focus almost solely on the most favorable aspects of advertising on Twitter. You should also try to summarize the content a little more, as some of the smaller details may be seen as too WP:INDISCRIMINATE for Wikipedia's purposes.
