This is my first full-sized article. I intend to cover the history of the ILR in the future, as well as possibly fix up the formattign a little. Most of the info came straight off the ILR website, with changes in the wording to avoid copyright issues. Any of your comments would be appreciated.

Using just one source (especially one published by the subject of the article) is a bit of a red flag (see for example Wikipedia:Notability). I found a few brief mentions when I searched for Interagency Language Roundtable on gao.gov and loc.gov but most of what I saw didn't go into much depth. A search on scholar.google.com or highwire seemed a bit more promising, including phrases like "In September 1988 the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR), an organization of US government agencies involved in language training, sponsored a symposium" or "The success of the ILR (Interagency Language Roundtable)".

Active List

What would you think about turning the list of member agencies into an active list that links each to their own article within Wikipedia? I'm sure most are already present. Skydive23 (talk) 16:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
