 * While I appreciate efforts to put this in original language after issues were first tagged, I'm afraid that - aside from brief and clearly marked quotations - all content used on Wikipedia from copyrighted sources must be rewritten from scratch. Assuming that you may be connected with the organization, there is information in the requisite notice (just above) that can help you verify license. At that point, copyright concerns with the content will be eliminated, but the material is likely to be modified. Wikipedia strives to be a tertiary source - that is, our goal is to summarize what reliable secondary sources say about notable subjects. Generally, we do not go into the same level of detail about organizations as their own websites may be expected to, although we are generally happy to link to the official websites of notable organizations so that our readers can visit them to get more information.


 * If you choose to rewrite this article rather than obtaining or verifying license, you might want to keep that in mind and try to offer more of a high-level summary about the Association. Any references you can offer to reliable sources that talk about the organization would be very welcome and helpful in establishing the appropriateness of including the organization here. Thanks, and please feel free to come by my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:40, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
