Hi, if you are connected with the OWT, I'd like to point out a few Wikipedia policies and guidelines that my be relevant. First is our guide to conflict of interest. This guideline does not preclude one editing an article about an organization in which one is involved, but it does show the potential pitfalls of such editing. I also see you changed some of the edits I had made to the article. I assume these edits were made in good faith, but please see our policy about ownership of articles and understand that some of my edits brought the article in line with the Wikipedia manual of style and I have changed them back. Thanks for doing some rewriting in order to remove the some of the first-person voice. For further suggestions that will help get the advert tag removed from the article, please read about our policy on neutral point-of-view. Also of interest may be What Wikipedia is Not. I know this is a lot of policy with which to become familiar, but I just wanted to let you know that if you see changes to the article, these policies will explain why. If you have any questions, please ask them on the article's talk page. Thanks! Katr67 21:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
