40Plus on Wikipedia

Andy Goldman posted this noteworthy comment in the Open Discussion section:

I placed a bit of information on the Wikipedia about 40Plus. You can find it by going to wikipedia.com and entering 40plus in the box at the left or just click on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40Plus

It is important that a few people edit the piece so that the people who work monitor wikipedia see that it is an organization of national interest. It is also important to cite as much of what is written in the wiki as possible or the whole entry could be removed.

So please log on and help edit the 40Plus entry, keeping in mind that it needs to appear unbiased and meet the following other standards of notability:

Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by sources that are reliable and independent of the organization. In other words, they satisfy the primary criterion above. Other criteria are:

* Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources. However, chapter information may be included in list articles as long as only verifiable information is included.
* Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found.
* The organization’s longevity, size of membership, or major achievements, or other factors specific to the organization may be considered. This list is not exhaustive and not conclusive.
o Even though the parent organization may be notable, individual chapters of national and international organizations may not be notable enough to warrant a separate article.
o Local chapter articles should start as a section of the parent organization article. If the parent article grows to the point where it may be split to a new article, and notability can be demonstrated using the general notability guideline, then it can be split. This should occur as a top down process.
