Talk:Pittsburgh council for international visitors

I am an intern for the PCIV. The body of this article is taken from the description of the organization reproduced in the text of its correspondences. This is not an advertisement. The PCIV is a non-profit organization associated with the U.S. Department of State and is therefore obviously not seeking commercial gain from this article. The intent of this article is to provide information about an important cultural resource in the Pittsburgh region.


 * You do not need to mark the page with .  I did not mark it for deletion.  I just marked it for cleanup since it reads like an advertisment (you admit its from their actual PR documents, so its pretty obvious).  Read up on wikipedia's policies on Verifiability as well as others to help you improve the article.  Information from the organization's correspondence is not a reliable source and its also a possible copyright violation since you probably did not receive explicit permission to include it in this encylopedia. pw 20:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

The text, close at hand and well descriptive, was used for the page more or less as a placeholder until some more detailed information could be composed. Really, it's not all that much different in style than the article on World Affairs Council -- Seattle, a sister organization, which I used as a model for this article. The descriptions are factual and certainly not meant as pitches for the organization. Anyway, I need time to gather more material.
