<div>Just wanted to update the group about Wikipedia's policy on "Conflict of Interest". The encyclopedia (in good interest) discourages (not prohibitive) editing of articles by people with a close association with the subject of the article. Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong in beginning the article and putting in verifiable information about the subject of the article from credible and secondary (not related to the subject) sources. The article in its present form does have credible, reliable and secondary sources. In addition, the article also seems to have survived a deletion process within Wikipedia, as the people who supported the article clearly indicated the notability of the subject. (See <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/People's_Health_Movement" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/People's_Health_Movement )</a></div>

<div><br> </div>
<div>I have long been an editor on Wikipedia (Anyone can be, of course) and would be taking up the task of improving the article based on credible and reliable sources. Those of you who have some good sources or references (newspaper articles, peer reviewed publications or credible magazine articles) can paste links to these on the talk page of the article (<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Health_Movement" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Health_Movement</a>)</div>
