This is not all the duplication I detected to that source. Other sentences and paragraphs were copied as well. Given that duplication can be confirmed, I've reverted the article to the prior state.

We are not a web host and certainly not a resource for promoting the organization, no matter how worthy it is. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:27, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
