Dear Satori Son,

I apologize for the confusion about the Sea Island, Georgia article. On behalf of Sea Island Resorts, I am making edits to the Wikipedia page by using press materials that were written by our public relations firm. An older version of the same backgrounder had previously been posted on our web site, www.seaisland.com, and was available for media use. As it turns out, g8seaisland.com used on old version of this backgrounder for the web site, which is now outdated. Since the G8 Summit, Sea Island has undergone several changes to all aspects of the resort, truly a six-year, $500 million complete resort rebuild, and we have been tried to update information on the web about Sea Island. It has come to our attention that the information posted on Wikipedia currently is outdated, and since Wikipedia is consistently listed as a referring web site to seaisland.com, we wanted to make sure the information on Wikipedia was as up-to-date as possible. Thank you so much for your concern and time. Doodlebug42 (talk) 20:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, and I'm sorry for being so brusque initially. We, the volunteer administrators at Wikipedia, are requested to help enforce the project's very strict copyright policies, but I see what you were trying to do.

Regarding the Sea Island, Georgia article, I would be very happy to help you update it with more recent information. Can you provide me with hyperlinks, preferably to third-party sources such a news organizations, that detail some of the recent changes there? If so, please start a new discussion at Talk:Sea Island, Georgia and we'll go from there. The process might take a day or two if some of the information needs vetted by editors who are active on that article (Wikipedia is a wholly collaborative project). Thanks so much. — Satori Son 21:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
