Project AWARE
Unfortunately, I've had to revert your changes to Project Aware, because they are unsourced. If you believe those changes to be accurate, please leave a note at the bottom of Talk:Project AWARE stating where others can find those sources and someone will be able to update the citations in the article, if you're unable to do that yourself. I should point out, though, that your suggested date for the foundation of Project Aware is contradicted by its own website. The version dated 20 June 2011 states "More than 20 years ago, a group of environmental advocates at the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) founded Project AWARE." - see http://web.archive.org/web/20110620155344/http://www.projectaware.org/our-story - and a 1992 foundation doesn't fit with "more than 20 years ago" in 2011.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! RexxS (talk) 16:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

As a staff member of Project AWARE you are deemed to be a paid editor and to have a conflict of interests on the subject matter. In such cases it is strongly recommended that editors refrain from directly editing articles except to make well referenced statements or corrections of indisputable fact. Your recent edit included primary sources, references which do not link directly to the web page from which the text was cited and language which is vague and reminiscent of PR spin or advertising. I suggest that in future you restrict your edits on this subject to requests or suggestions on the talk page, in compliance with recommended best practice.&bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
