User talk:BiosphereExpeditions

This is not meant to be a promotional piece about Biosphere Expeditions. It is meant as a starting point for people to edit and change as they see fit and add relevancy. There are many similar articles about similar organisations on Wikipedia (e.g. Earthwatch, Coral Cay Conservation, Global Vision International, so I felt that a piece about Biosphere Expeditions is justified. Happy editing!

Thank you for making me aware of this rule. Actually, I would like to delete my account altogether as I am frankly fed up with being lectured upon every time I show signs of activity. I have an interest in wildlife conservation and citizen science and sometimes make contributions on these topics, which includes mentioning the non-profit I head up (Biosphere Expeditions). More often than not this is interpreted as commercial activity of some sort and results in a lecture or some other unkind actions such as deletions or blocks without the courtesy of asking first. I understand that it is important to protect the integrity of Wikipedia and I certainly appreciate all the volunteer hours that go into creating and maintaing this great resource. However, my experience of the editor community has been akin to a police state where you are guilty until proven innocent. I am not skilled in internet matters (I am not even sure how to delete my account) and I contribute rarely, but have now been put off, because it seems that as soon as I do something the Wikipedia GESTAPO jumps into its presumptuous action.
