I'm sure many people here have heard of or used the free online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, at: www.wikipedia.org/Some months ago, I typed the letters ICCD into Wikipedia out of curiousity - the only page this gives me introduces the 'intensified charge-coupled device' I tried to write an encyclopedia article about ICCD, but the task turned out to be way beyond my abilities - I am not familiar with the wikipedia and would have to learn to use it first, and my knowledge of the ICCD is haphazard - I know only the basic facts and my own 'field', translation in the Finnish clubhouses, not the main structures of the organization. Would anyone here be interested in writing a wikipedia article about ICCD? This could be an excellent opportunity for promoting... and considering that we are trying to make some kind of trademark out of the word 'Clubhouse', maybe a short text should be written to add one more meaning - our meaning - to this entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubhouse

Ah well, looks like someone has done it already, but the title was not one I would use when checking an encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubhouse_Model_of_Psychosocial_RehabilitationI didn't find this on my own - I'm all clueless about this whole wikipedia stuff, and so is the rest of Näsinkulma. You've no idea how clueless Näsinkulma is sometimes, but I suppose that's normal. No, my german friend found this for me when I asked him to help - I think I'm going to need his help a lot, or perhaps the help of whoever wrote this article. The atlantic should not be this difficult for INFORMATION to cross

Hei Heidi,
I never did anything like this either, but perhaps you could still edit the "Intensified Blah-de-Blah" article that the "ICCD" article redirects to, replacing it with something vaguely like this:
'''ICCD''' may mean:
*[[Intensified charge-coupled device]] *[[International Center for Clubhouse Development]] (http://www.iccd.org) - an organisation that promotes the [[Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation]]
(phrasing it more elegantly, perhaps) -- or, alternatively:
'''ICCD''' may mean:
*[[Intensified charge-coupled device]] *[[International Center for Clubhouse Development]]
(In this case create an International Center for Clubhouse Development article that links to the longer, existing article...)
I tried to follow the example of other "ABCD may mean" type pages, but I'm not exactly familiar with Wikipedia customs so I can't tell if this would get you excommunicated...

Thanks, j!
*reads big difficult words*
Hmm, it's still all hebrew. I'm gonna pass on the challenge again...
