The company I work for (Pathfinder International) is a US-based non-profit that works to improve the reproductive health of women, men, and adolescents throughout the developing world.
We've been around for almost 50 years, and we work in about 20 countries in Africa, Asia & Latin America.
I'd like to see an article on us in Wikipedia, and I think we're probably a big enough player to merit one, but it is obviously more appropriate that an experienced Wikipedian start it.
If you are an experienced Wikipedian, and you think we'd merit an article, I'd thank you very much for getting Pathfinder International (started).
Special thanks to User:Lotsofissues for starting the Wikipedia article on Pathfinder.
As mentioned above, I am disinclined to edit the article out of concern primarily for POV issues. (This is out of concern for appearances mostly, not actual concern for my ability to remain NPOV. I wish to show repect to the community, and am aware that more scrutiny should be directed at those with a vested interest in an article.)
I will feel free as any Wikipedian to edit mercilessly if prankster issues arise, but I will try call for experienced Wikipedian's where possible instead of doing it myself.
I would like to encourage further development of the article, though.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance. You can leave me a message here or email bnardone@pathfind.org. Email's probably better since I don't check this site very often.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or efforts,

I will try to list here any edits that I do make. Please feel free to comment.
[[The title of your link]]
(which looks like The title of your link). If you wanted it to link to, for example, Orange (word), but want to have the face of the link say Orange, use: [[Orange (word)|Orange]]
which makes Orange. External links should only be used to link to external sites. (So, instead of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinder_International Pathfinder International's Wikipedia entry]
, use [[Pathfinder International|Pathfinder International's Wikipedia entry]]

I normally rewrite everything I place and use several sources for my wikis and try to create complete wikis in short periods of time. Pathfinder International is a nice challenge due to the high amount of information available, but a nice one.

Thanks for the interest and the effort, Killerdark. I can shoot you a copy of our logo via email; photos would be trickier. Just to clarify, we're not a foundation. We're a nonprofit NGO (501(c)(3)). We do accept contributions from individuals and foundations, and we also do work for several govermental agencies (e.g. USAID). Pfwebadmin 20:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
