edits to Education Development Center article

@ThePlatypusofDoom:

Hi,

I work with Alison from EDC and had some additional edits and citations for the article. Most are just clean ups, with one additional line added in. I laid out what the article should look like with the corrections below. thank you! ______________________________________________________

There appears to be two typos in the 2nd sentence of the second paragraph: please delete the extra parenthese at the start of the sentence, and the extra period at the end of the sentence.

Jerrold Zacharias should be a link to his Wikipedia profile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerrold_R._Zacharias

Physical Science Study Committee should be a link to its Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Science_Study_Committee

Citations 2, 4, 5 are incorrectly attributed. Citation 2 (reflecting Sputnik) should appear after Man: A Course of Study in the previous sentence; citation 4 (Chronicle of Philanthropy link) should be moved and appear with citation 6 at the end of the sentence that begins "For instance, during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Liberia..."; Citation 5 should point to PSSC: 50 Years Later not the current item listed

The organization manages the Suicide Prevention Resource Center and serves as secretariat of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention.

_________________________________________________ With all the corrections, the article should read like:

Wow... Massive Wall of text. Okay, I'll put the links in. Remember, this isn't your page, you do not have control over how it looks. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
