I have noticed that the wiki site uses the "copyright" policy to preclude information from most corporations and organizations. Since the organization's mission statement, etc cannot be quoted, the author is forced to write their own opinion of what the group is.

The real problem is that people use it as a serious research tool.

To clarify the policy, you can't just add a big block of copyrighted text from a business's website to an article - it's a violation of copyright. However, if you get permission, an editor can quote the whole block; otherwise, the editor has to rewrite it to avoid plagiarism, in which case he should cite the original copyrighted page, and the article's readers can click on the citation link and see the original. Also, you can use reasonable-sized quotes.
