Treating ourselves -- as individuals or as an organization -- as
something in special in articles violates NPOV, and COI, besides
providing a perfect target for our enemies. I actually believe in
those two principles. Those who would make exceptions for themselves
do not.
Wikipedia editors do a huge amount of work for Wikipedia, and get
little in return. The least they can ask is that Wikipedia itself not
increase the readership of site that attack them - attacks that have
come about precisely because they have been doing work for Wikipedia.
