Professional Speakers Association
You asked about how to take care of the maintenance notices on the Professional Speakers Association article. Each notice has links that will take you to articles which explain how to do the required work.

Unfortunately, your email brought up another issue. As president of the association, you have a conflict of interest in editing this article. If you take a minute to read Conflict of interest, you'll see that editing such articles is strongly discouraged.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  16:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note on my user page. The problem with this article is that it does not show notability substantiated through third party articles i.e. newspaper articles, secondly it is merely a repetition of grades of membership (interesting if you are thinking of joining, but not really encyclopaedic, but no more than advertising at the moment) - therefore at the moment I think even a notability tag would not be uncalled for. I endorse the comments made above by Fabrictramp,too. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
