 * Hello, thank you for replying &mdash; as described above, there is an official way to assert your copyright over the text in question. However, there is another issue; articles in Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view. While you are understandably enthusiastic about your organization, and I'm sure you are doing important work, Wikipedia is foremost an encyclopedia, and its first job is ensuring that content is described in a factual, neutral way &mdash; not to promote organizations, however laudable they may be. I know this seems harsh, but if you can rewrite the article in a neutral way, and show how it meets Wikipedia's notabilty guidelines, then there should be no problem. Note: while I was writing this an administrator deleted the article. You might also want to read the conflict of interest guidelines. Feezo (Talk) 01:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
