[community] Wikipedia page review

[Caroline Sinders]

Oh sorry- I meant more organizing edits like this may technically break a Wikipedia rule on no paid edits or ppl editing under false pretenses, so a public call for edits could be seen by some wiki editors as a sticky gray area.

Mainly, and I apologize for this, a hold over from working for the Wikimedia Foundation has now made me an odd stickler for rules because I could see a crotchety admin saying/huffing “well, even non profits shouldn’t edit their own pages or get their volunteers to do it bx *bias* so ok I’m gonna revert all these recent edits.”

I’m sorry- that’s what I meant. 

It should be fine, honestly, I just wanted to flag this in case the new edits got reverted.
