Yes, he is a volunteer at The Fred Hollows Foundation and he is updating The Fred Hollows Foundation's Wikipedia article. We get a lot of phone calls from elementary schools kids who are given assigments on Fred Hollows and The Fred Hollows Foundation asking about the history and accomplishments. they seem to have issues finding these details on our website so we think Wikipedia is a good source to give them that information.


 * can't you just direct them to the Hollows Foundation website instead of copy and pasting large chunks which violates Wikipedia policy on copyright violation? LibStar (talk) 01:25, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

We have, but a lot of their parents (a few hundred) have asked for it to be on Wikipedia because they have problems finding the information on our website. And the Wikipedia article about The Fred Hollows Foundation was very brief and out of date. Please advise me on which parts need to be fixed and I will be happy to have our volunteers work to meet Wikipedia's high standards.


 * Wikipedia relies on reliable sources and preferably those third party to the article subject. In that regard, there should not be a reliance on using the Foundation's own website. Please note trying to edit it for your organisation may be a conflict of interest. LibStar (talk) 01:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there a reason why Nic Cester was removed from Ambassadors and Supporters section of The Fred Hollows Foundation article?? He is a supporter of The Foundation. Third party references were provided.


 * don't think I removed it, please reinstate if you have references. LibStar (talk) 05:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

My mistake, it was done by JackB14, he/she has also made a bunch of other edits to the article.
