Talk:National Fire Protection Association

message: Is there any reason this page should not be renamed (moved) to "National Fire Protection Association" to match the name of nfpa.org?  Google has many refs to "agency" but all of them I looked at are simply wrong (i.e., they also ref nfpa.org). There is no indication on nfpa.org that it has ever had a different name.

thread_title:  Copyright violation 

message: The whole section regarding "standards accepted as law" should be moved to the "Model_building_code" article, and referenced by this and other related articles. 69.19.246.184 (talk) 07:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: So -- the organization was formed by a group of representatives, and yet only one person was a member? Was that a misprint, perhaps...?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.44.0.4 (talk) 22:46, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Founding member/s ? 

message: The "See also" section has recently been crammed with a list of red-links to non-existent articles about every NFPA standards document ever published.  Is this really necessary?  Why should Wikipedia undertake to duplicate content that is freely available from the nfpa.org Web site?  I suggest the entire section should be deleted, since it is unnecessary bloat and adds little to understanding the prime focus of the article, the National Fire Protection Association. — QuicksilverT @ 04:34, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

:As you can clearly read in the process there (as as someone who deals with formal code statements should understand), "pending" is not "accepted". And even if it were accepted, that does not make the content acceptable editorially, merely allowed by policy. You have a conflict of interest, so it's understandable that you seem to be eager to post your own company's version of material about itself and likewise that you are having difficulty seeing why we likely would not accept it.

message: At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting  (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.
