 * A followup in response to the note on your user page:
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a provider of free web space or an advertising medium.  The subject of an article needs to be notable enough to merit an encyclopedia article in the first place, and the information therein should be verifiable from reliable sources that are independent of the subject.


 * The standard around here is that all articles, regardless of subject, should maintain a neutral point of view and not be promotional in nature. If you have a connection with the organization, then please also see the guidelines on conflict of interest.


 * You may feel that because the article is for a non-profit organization, it doesn't constitute blatant advertising, but the consensus of the community is that promotional material is articles is undesirable regardless of what is being promoted, be it spam for a product, or an appeal to help African orphans.


 * Also, since it is so easy for anyone to edit the pages here, we tend to be pretty twitchy when it comes to questions of copyright, and the general policy here is to maintain a pretty strict interpretation of what material can be copied from other sites.


 * None of this is to imply that there can't be an article here on Women in Design, Denver, but the article has to be in keeping with Wikipedia's policies. I know that there's a lot of rules around here, but these rules have been arrived at after long discussions and consensus among the large community of regular editors, in the interest of making this the best encyclopedia it can be.  Please take the time to read up on Wikipedia's policies and procedures, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page.  Thanks, and take care.  -- Finngall   talk  17:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
