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.
