Going out on a limb
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that, based on your username, you are a summer intern working in DC for the summer, specifically interning at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, where you have been given the assignment of cleaning up the Center's Wikipedia page. If I am correct, please go to the Conflict of Interst guideline on Wikipedia, print it out, and bring it to your supervisor to explain to them why you are unable to carry out this assignment.

You will notice that I have just completed a major edit of the page, including the removal of all biographical information related to the Center's Board of Directors. Wikipedia is not the Center's private webhost, and should not serve to replicate content that is better placed on the Center's on web page. Instead, I have reduce the coverage to notable members of the Center's board and staff (notability being indicated by the presence of an existing Wikipedia article).

If you must edit the page, please address the major issue that currently exists -- the lack of reliable, independent sources. If you can find coverage of the Center's activities in third party sources (books, magazine articles, web sites independent of the Center or its partners), please do so.
