Sections
Any reason this article does not have proper sections?Billlion 15:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Sections from Objectives to Co-operation
I did some minor copy-editing, but it looks like a few quotes could be cited (wanted to let someone else handle that rather than mess around with it myself).

My main concern (as per the title here), however, is the sections after the main article. I took a look at one of the external links and found that the entire text, nearly verbatim, was copied from here. It doesn't really have an encyclopedic tone, but I wasn't sure how to handle it. Can someone look into that?

You are quite right. Almost the entire article is a copyright violation. Following Copyright problems, I have reverted back to the last version on 6 January 2007, that was not a copyvio. The copyright material was added in several edits by Manlitphil on 1 February. That user has made no other contributions to Wikipedia. The copyright material is in the history. Material from there can be added back but only if it is written in your own words and not directly copied. This Society is important and the article needs expanding in a proper fashion. --Bduke 00:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyedit
Still requires further copyediting. --ukexpat 17:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
