CNAD Affiliates
Dseilhan: thanks for your interest in the article on the Center for a New American Dream; however, I fail to see how the "Salvation Network"'s listing of the center as an "affiliate" belongs on the article for the CNAD. While I have no doubt the research is good, I don't think it's pertinent to the topic at hand. Further, Wikipedia has a policy against original research (WP:NOR) and standards of notability (WP:N). If you feel this information does belong, despite it's concerning organizations other then those the one being discussed, having been gleamed from original research, and failing standards of notability, please discuss it with other editors on the article's discussion page. Thanks! » K i G O E  | talk  02:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, Dseilhan – just got your response. I apologize if I was harsh in my comment - trust me, not how I wanted to come across. I very well could be wrong, but from what little I gathered, the "Salvation Network" (which, agreed, seems kinda shadowy) certainly list the CNAD as an affiliate. There's nothing wrong with you saying that, even though you got it from the web. My point was that the "Salvation Network" lists the CNAD as an affiliate, not vice versa. Anyone could list the CNAD as an affiliate; that doesn't mean an actual relationship exists, and it certainly doesn't make the information notable. The "self research" part I referred to was more the commentary that accompanied the links: "It is also unclear whether UEC is a front for some right-wing Christian group, a form of evangelical greenwashing, a univeralist or multi-faith environmentalist effort, or something else entirely. The parent organization, whatever that is, seems to be carrying out an additional mission of buying up as many ecology-and-religion-related website domains as possible (see the Salvation Network link below)." Apologies for seeming to have an idiotic double standard; evidently, I wasn't very clear in my comment. Hope you keep contributing to Wikipedia, though!
