Clean up and COI tags

I restored the clean and COI tags as issues still seem to exist. The article is in desperate need of independent, third-party, reliable sources (that's the refimprove tag also goes to notability, an issue that isn't currently tagged on the page but probably ought to be - I'll leave off that to see if twe get reasonable refs with the current tags).

It also needs editing for advertising tone. At the moment it reads more like a brochure - simply repeating the claims of the organization. Without those previously mentioned independent, third-party, reliable sources it's exceedingly difficult to have anything more than the most stubby (i.e. short) article without it being this way - so I suggest concentrating on those and then we can start building something less brochure-ish from them.

Also the conflict of interest concerns have not been alleviated - the article has been almost entirely written by an editor with a current username that indicates a close association with the subject of the article. Despite that editor's request for a name change we obviously assume - given the name and editing - that there is a link. This will likely require input from more editors as well as (ideally) a frank disclosure from the editor to resolve. -- SiobhanHansa 19:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
