I made some drastic edits to the article Take Pride in America you have been working on to try to avoid it being deleted as blantant advertising WP:ADVERT. You need to remember you are writing for an encyclopedia, not a newspaper or magazine advertisement. Terms like "our", "my" need to be avoided. You may want to take some time and review some of the links above for additional guidance. Thanks for your interest in Wikipedia Dbiel (Talk) 03:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
