Thank you for the article on Project Reach. However, it appears to have been directly copied from the organization's web site. As stated in our copyright policy this is not acceptable. i have rewritten it a bit, both to remove the exact copy nature, and to better conform to Wikipedia style. (For example, wikepedia articles should not use phrases like "twenty years ago" because in a few years, they may not be accurate, and it may not be clear just when the phrase was written. Instead, years or dates should be supplied. Similarly, phrases like "currently" should not be used, instead use "As of 2007" or the like, so a future reader will know when the information was current.)
This article needs to have some citations of reliable sources both to establish the accuracy of the facts stated and the notability of the organization. Perhaps you can supply some sources. Sources that are independent of the project -- that is, news reports or the like, not press releases or blog entries -- would be most helpful
Finally, it appears from your user name that you are associated with this project. Please read our conflict-of-interest policy and edit carefully in light of it. If this account is used by multiple people at Project Reach, please note that Wikipedia:Username policy#Sharing accounts indicates that this is not acceptable. Any given account should be used by only one person, ever.
I hope these notes are helpful. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions, or ask on the Help desk. Please don't forget to sign your comments on talk pages (but not on articles) with four tildes (~~~~). Thank you. DES (talk) 16:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
