The blurb at the top of the article says: "This article may not meet the general notability guideline. Please help to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted. (May 2009)." Comment: this article is fully right or almost right, although facts may need to be checked and sources/references would be helpful. It is of course superficial and provides precious littel true context. Better than nothing. It would appear that someone who knows the story wrote the first draft, in pretty bad English, which I have since cleaned up. It would be absurd to merge, redirect or delete the item. The Citizens Committees were a landmark feature of early nineties Estonian history. Simply because Wikpedia cashes in on people like myself working for free out of frustration!!! - not necessarily the desire to work for no money - doesn't mean that some of us don't know the facts and the story by heart, nor does it mean that I have to run now and dig up references for you as more work for zero payment. Jimmy Wales makes his money on this and humankind benefits, and you guys rag "work even more for free with no recognition and no pay"? I edit simply because it distresses me severely to see vital reference materials about my county as messed up as they are. To have messed up things out there in English (either substandard or written by people who think they know how to write in English but actually don't) is more of a disservice than a service.
