Hi. Thanks for your edits to the roller derby article. If you wish to improve the article, please do. If you wish to mention MADE or men's roller derby outside the historical context, please comment on the talk page first. This is a point of a lot of contention on the article, and the only way it will likely be included is if consensus to include it is first gathered on the talk page. If you have information on governance outside that area, please add it to the article with out removing information about global governance. :) --LauraHale (talk) 23:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I hope I'm doing this right. I'm new to wikipedia editing! I'm a representative of WFTDA, and we were contacted a while ago by someone who was upset that MADE had been removed from the roller derby page. Basically, we don't want people to think that WFTDA is trying to keep the other roller derby organizations off of the Roller Derby article, and decided that we should add them back in. We also wanted to add MRDA, because we have a new partnership with them,. I also noticed that JRDA and OSDA, which are the other two big roller derby organizations weren't really mentioned either. Although I don't feel that it is WFTDA's responsibility to make sure the roller derby article is 100% accurate, I do think it's important that the other roller derby organizations are represented. I'd be happy to work with the other editors of the article to come to a consensus on the best way to do that. I understand there are rules regarding references and that kind of thing, so we want to make sure the rules are followed while also ensuring the information in the article is accurate.
