editFirstly, if you were with the organization, I'd recommend not contributing to the article on it per WP:SELF and WP:CONFLICT. Secondly, my main objection is that the content you added was very advertisement-ish. Anything that promotes the organization really shouldn't be here. We're here to inform not to promote. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 00:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Small example? The use of "our" in your text. "Our" suggests that we are speaking for the organization. Well we're not. We're a neutral encyclopedia. Our is one of those words we should never use. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 00:47, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- I was probably being a bit hasty. I'll restore it. I'm going to remove the Sandbox thing though. That's for...the sandbox. :) --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 15:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
