Hello – thanks for the message. You asked how your ideas sounded? Well, put bluntly, it sounds to me like you're trying to write an article about a laudable but non-notable non-commercial organization, and you have a clear conflict of interest in the subject. A word of caution: be careful if you decide to create a third version like the first two, because pages that are repeatedly re-created after the deletion process can be protected from further re-creation with a little salt. If you create this page again, work closely to the five pillars and the Manual of Style. If I were you, I would wait several months, at least until the group gains attention from more verifiable, reliable sources. Blogs don't count – newspapers and magazines do. The WITASWAN people might not like it, but there's not much else to say. Sometimes groups (and many, many individuals) overestimate their encyclopedic value. Wikipedia is not a directory.
It's unfortunate that a paid assignment is your first experience with Wikipedia, because we can always use good writers and editors. We have more than 2,000,000 articles, and last time I checked there were something like 8,200 articles in need of attention. I hope you decide to register a new username, or edit anonymously, and join us in our quest to build and improve our free encyclopedia. Thanks again for the message. - KrakatoaKatie 05:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
