Sorry; that's the result of haste. Since we were about to be evicted I said yes without actually reading it. No, pasting paragraphs or even sentences is not permitted because it's a copyviol (Wikijargon abbreviation). Besides, the prose is breathlessly promotional. So, you will have to write it again in your sandbox, using your own words but following WP:Neutral. We don't say someone is excellent or dreadful or anything like that, when we speak with the voice of Wikipedia. When we quote, it's in quotation marks and it isn't whole paragraphs and the whole article is not made of quotations. We mostly speak with new words saying old things but in total neutrality.
