My apologies. I'm a new user and legitimately trying to correct information on my organization and the major events we produce. Will ask someone more knowledgeable with Wikipedia in my office to correct this information on the Gotham Awards, IFP/New York (no longer our name) and IFP (Independent Feature Project) listings.

Your apology sounds too sincere to be a genuine vandal simply trying to be let of the hook, and is accepted. For test edits, to get the feel of the site, you should try the sandbox. Even I still use it from time to time. Also, there are great variety of useful links in the welcome message, so...

Welcome!
