protected areas coverage
Hi, glad to see you contributing to the Wikipedia coverage of protected areas. Given your chosen username and focus/content of your edits, there may be some issues raised about your edits. From the username, i and others might wonder if you have an official association with the WPCA. You might check Wikipedia policy/guidelines on wp:COI and wp:ORGNAME. I think it is possibly appropriate for your username to be changed, which an administrator could assist with. Also, if you have a direct association with a topic, you are welcome to edit on the topic but there are some guidelines on conflict of interest which you should just be familiar with. I would emphasize that your contributions are welcome; there just may be some refinement necessary of how your edits are presented in the future. I'll watch here but also you could post to me at my Talk page. Also, I would be very glad to correspond privately if you would send me a private email, by email box at my User page. Cheers, --doncram (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
