Problematic edits
Your edit at Deep Foundations Institute continue to be problematic, for the following reasons: Also, your editing gives the impression that you have an association with DFI which would constitute a conflict of interest.
 * 1) your use of extensive external links embedded within the article violates Wikipedia's guidelines on external links;
 * 2) "Mission Statements" are generally meaningless except as promotional content, and therefore have no place at Wikipedia;
 * 3) your changes have been sourced solely to DFI's own website, whereas Wikipeida prefers to rely on what reliable secondary sources have written about the topic.

Please read and familiarize yourself with the links in the above welcome message as well as the links I have included in this message before you continue editing. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:02, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) is an international association of contractors, engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, academics and owners in the deep foundations industry.
 * DFI was incorporated as a 501(c)6 association in January 1976 . It was founded by Jack Dougherty and Hal Hunt during the “Pile Talk” seminars and became a multidisciplinary worldwide membership organization.

 * == International chapters ==
 * DFI currently supports chapters in Europe, Middle East and India.
 * DFI Europe was formed in 2005 as a DFI Regional Chapter for European DFI Members, who enjoy the benefits of joint DFI and DFI Europe membership. DFI Europe’s secretariat is located in Belgium.
 * DFI Middle East was formed in 2010 following a successful Piling Summit in Dubai, UAE. The Regional Chapter provides joint membership in DFI and DFI Middle East.
 * DFI of India was formed in 2013 following the success of the Deep Foundation Technologies for Infrastructure Development in India held in Chennai, India in 2012. The Regional Chapter provides joint membership in DFI and DFI of India.
 * I have removed the external links and found secondary sources to reference as much info as I could find.
 * There is still one reference to dfi.org, for the history as I could not find any corroboration elsewhere on the web.
 * Their educational trust, doesn't have anything I could find written up outside of their website, so i have removed it from the article.
 * Thanks for the input, I'm new at wiki editing, and I appreciate the help.
 * Regards,

 * This version still has inappropriate external links to "DFI Europe", "DFI Middle East" and "DFI of India". WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 23:15, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
