 * Hi Jeffgurlstein, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here.  Can I suggest reading WP:Your first article, for an overview of things to consider?
 * After a brief look at your GFEM page I have identified the following main issues:
 * The article does not cite reliable, third-party sources. These are required in order to verify the information and notability of the subject.
 * Although I've seen far more egregious examples, the article does come across as promotional. It also seems to contain a degree of corporate buzzspeak, rather than stating plain facts.
 * Check our policy on external links - these should be limited to the end of the article, and only when directly relevant - the article contains far more than needed at present.
 * Are you personally affiliated with the organisation? If so, also read our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest.


 * The first of these issues is the biggest concern, however - and I would advise you to search for some appropriate sources before doing any further work on the article. If you need any further help:
 * Leave a message on my talk page; or
 * Use another here; or
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.

 * Also, while you work on the article it should be in a user subpage, rather than on your userpage - the userpage is just for giving a little information about yourself, if you choose to do so. I've moved the article on your behalf and it is now at User:Jeffgurlstein/Grantmakers in Film and Electronic Media. ∙  AJCham  (talk)  18:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
