[edit] Sourcing
You need to provide a source that is independent of DECA that states it is the only organization to specialize in what you said it specializes in. Of course anyone related to DECA is going to claim that, but something outside of DECA, an indepedent, reliable source needs to confirm this. Metros 18:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop adding "Michigan DECA" as the reference for that statement. As I said, you need to source it with something outside of DECA. Metros 18:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Really, you need to stop adding the "source" and the "external link." Your source needs to be from a non-DECA related website, news article, etc. Also, I added the chapter directory, why do you feel that you need to add your state website now in addition to the state directory?

- Wow, sorry, just started using this today. There was a miscommunication with a co-worker but we've got it figured out now.
