Hey, I'm new to this whole thing. I'm fascinated by mermaids and all sorts of mythical creatures, and I stumbled upon your community. Gotta admit that you're tempting me to overcome my aquaphobia, since I do some costuming anyway and this would be a great way to force myself.
Anyway, I've spent the last few days cleaning up the Wikipedia page about what y'all do. It's under threat of deletion for lack of "notability"--that is, worthiness of being in Wikipedia. Since I just heard about mermaiding, I haven't been able to write much but have been able to clean up the page and dig up some more sources. If any of you writer/researcher-type folks could write in a better representation than I could come up with at this point... I don't know. I just think y'all are really creative and deserve to have a Wikipedia article about what you do.
