The way I see it this is neither encyclopedic nor consistent with a NPOV (neutral point of view). This is about community action and keeping the community informed of activites about which it should take action. It also offers structure for taking action. This is not a governmental organization. It is as far as I can see private. If this is a wrong assessment let us know. As assessed it is not a candidate for being listed as an encyclopedic source on WP. Encyclopedias do not recommend community action. If someone wanted to do an article on the organization itself and that article passes the criteria for noteworthiness and can be written from a NPOV then it might appear in WP. This may seem like a technicality to some but sometimes little things amout to big things. I am not even going to mention some of the community action programs we have had in this country that no one would even think of using as a source. I wish I could wish you luck on your community action but I do not know one thing about you. Thanks.Dave (talk) 15:22, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The writing

[edit]

As we all know there are many different styles and dialects of English. WP insists on syles that are encyclopedic and neutral. If something might be said in a travel brochure then very likely it would not appear here. Hills are not beautiful, homes are not quaint, landscapes are not scenic, and so on. It is not my policy, it is WP's. Personally for this type of writing I agree with it. This is a difficult experiment putting together all beliefs and preferences from across the world. It could so easily disintegrate into a million little propaganda wars. So, neutrality is and should be strictly enformed. You will find that I have had to rewrite.
