This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me understand why my references still aren't good enough for this article on URISA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Urban_and_Regional_Information_Systems_Association. This organization is one of the most well known international organizations in the GIS industry, and I've cited references from:

industry online magazines including Directions Magazine, GISCafe.com, Professional Surveyor magazine
research papers where URISA was mentioned in a number of research papers; many whose subject is GIS History and how URISA is a big part of that history
article from BusinessWire
the Geospatial Refarata Wiki

Not sure what I'm missing at this point? Thank you, BigFields 18:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
