requesting permission to edit the wiki

I didn't state that any permission needed to be asked to edit the Wiki,
instead pointing out that the Texas Team wiki has been historically, and
recently agreed upon to act as a hub to point newcomers to an
appropriate regional team. I also requested that the headers maintain
the uniformity that is maintained on each regional team (which is
already in place). The edits implemented by yourself and daily struggle
had removed the ease of finding a local team, which negates the
intentions behind the page in the first place.
Dallas Team started the Texas Team page in 2007 with the intentions of
strengthening the uniformity of teams across the state without having to
sacrifice each teams individuality. That individuality allows each team
to effectively penetrate their community. We felt this was easiest
performed by maintaining a state wiki page with fluidity between
navigating in and out of your surrounding teams wiki pages.
I apologize if you feel as if I spit upon your face in regards to the
efforts you put forth into the changes. As I am sure your feelings are
mutual at negating the efforts put forth by Shawn, Brandon (Perry),
Nathan, Dustin, David and myself. In no way was my intentions to offend,
in as much rather to respect the past efforts to maintain a successful
compass for directing people to their friendly community.
