We do not write: "for more information on our award winning arts based training programme ... click here"! &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * We are a small national Scottish volunteer led not-for-profit charity, other than our free advice line and community training programmes we dont have anything to advertise, certainly not commerically. How do we acknowledge that our community based training programmes a have won government funded awards without sounding like an advertisement?


 * Can you help with what we should write rather than 'we do not write?


 * Any help would be appreciated, regards. Markauk (talk) 15:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

You should do nothing. If you have won awards, clearly your charity will become notable. Soon someone with no COI will come here and write about you. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:53, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
