Hi Lady of Shallot How can I get rid of the notability banner? I've put in a lot of refs. but as an organisation rather than a knowledge article there aren't many external refs. to it. (I'm chasing some in journals.) There seem to be lots of other articles with far less refs and content to the ESF one. Slateroof
 * Hi Slateroof, first to get the helpme tag to work, you should not have put the nowiki tags around it. You disabled it by adding those. Now for your question, I see you have gotten rid of the notability tag yourself as it is... To demonstrate notability as Wikipedia uses the term (which is a rather jargon sense), there really need to be things written about the article subject itself. There are a lot of articles on WP that do not meet the requirements -gradually, though, they either get improved or weeded out. Sorry I didn't see your note before; I'll make sure to check back here to see if you have any further questions. :) Lady  of  Shalott  08:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
