Am i overusing this source in my essay?

it is an 8 page paper and in one part, i needed to talk about what a certain group believes. So, i used their website s "about us" page as a source and i quoted the whole thing. It was three paragraphs and took up almost a page. Is that something I should have done? Did I overuse the source? If so, what should I do to fix it (keep in mind that I don t want to lose too much length in fixing it)?

    Yes, you overused it by at least one paragraph. You should take excerpts from it or use another source.

    Just retype it all in your own words, keeping one sentence that you cite.
