We do, unless what Enock and I shared (though unsigned) is not. Well someone must be ready to not just sign this, but append a means by which wikiGH could be contacted too.

We don't have a release out yet. At least not one signed by the group.
The video will come soon.

Ok looks good folks, we already have a release floating out there in the GH press which is equally informational oooh. By the way (I advise that) whoever signs this must be ready to be the face/mouth of the group in GH :-)
Where is our friend on camera, do we have an informational video in the works yet, or is it 'coming soon to a theatre near you'.

Ok for me.
Check paragraph 8 line 6 "article for *a* untruthful and biased information."
Shouldn't it be: "article for *any* untruthful and biased information." OR "article for *any* future untruthful and biased information."
Thanks
Enock.
