Given your use of the pronoun "we" in the article, I am presuming you are connected to the subject. If so, you may be in position to grant permissioon for some of the additional text which has had to be removed. The lead of the article seems to have been primarily copied from [1] and [2]. While this content is very liberally licensed, it forbids commercial re-use. Wikipedia requires that all content imported by available for commercial as well as non-commercial reuse. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information.
Additionally, the quotes have been removed to permit you time to read through our non-free content guideline and policy. Extended quotations are forbidden. You may provide brief quotations, but please be sure to cite your source immediate after the quotation, and please be sure that they are used for good reason, such as some of those set out in that guideline.
If you have questions about any of this, please feel free to come by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
