Talk:SugarInstant

Untitled

Hello,

This is my third time trying to write this article. I have spoken to several people asking them for some advice. I have cited all facts. I don't mean to argue but I really am getting curious about how I am supposed to put an article up.

I have had people ask me if I am affiliated with the site or any of the other sites mentionedin the entry. I am not. Please let me know what the issue is.

I will add this. This is the first conversation I had with a new page monitor.

"I don't mean to argue and I don't mean any disrespect. I know you hold authority and I have no interest in undermining that.

I am not affiliated with SugarDVD or with Wantedlist. I am a 21 year old girl in my 2nd year at University and I am writing this article as a communicative writing exercise. Each person in my class had to chose a subject that was not yet in the Wikipedia database, get it approved by the professor,convince the class of it's relevance, and create a Wikipedia article for it. I originally came across the name of this company a year or so ago when I was looking up information on Tori Spelling's fascination with porn. I found the name of the company in an article on page six of the New York Post and I tried to look it up on Wikipedia, which is my go to place for most information. There was no article. I was given this assignment last Thursday and I remembered that this particular subject had no Wikipedia entry so I decided I would tackle it.

I presented it before a class of 55 students, a professor, and a teacher's assistant and I used my original article as support for my case that SugarDVD is a subject worthy of an encyclopedia entry. Adult companies are not typically accepted as "interesting" or "important" which is exactly why I chose this subject. I feel like society approaches the sex industry with a lack of respect and I have never agreed with that. This is just a small article and I am by no means lobbying for change by writing it. I believe the company is interesting. From a business stand point, I am impressed by the exponential growth that happens with many adult companies in the first few years of existence. These companies grow 20 times faster than restaurant chains, coffee houses, and music stores.

Secondly, I am a communications major and I am impressed with their marketing strategy. I have worked in marketing and being persuasive is challenging enough without having the taboo of sex working against you. Once I started reading about SugarDVD, I became more and more interested in how their marketing team was able to create a presence in an America that has become very conservative in the last 15 years. If my article seemed persuasive or promotional, I apologize. I was merely excited and impressed to learn about something new.

Part of writing for a company or making a submission to a website is being rejected or censored but I truly feel this is interesting and worth writing and reading about. I have no qualms making my article more objective but I feel as if I've been slapped in the face to get this far only to be shot down.

If nothing else, my article can't be considered unimportant if these two are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WantedList

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelliflix

They are each about adult rental businesses that follow the Netflix business model. Essentially, all three of these articles are about the exact same thing. I added in things about Tori Spelling and other celebrities because those were the news stories that I found about the company and they were cited and I felt that they were notable. Aside from Playboy, I never see any major articles about porn companies in the press.

I don't mean to go on forever but I want to make sure I have made my point. I feel like I have a solid case. I would really appreciate it if you could advise me. Thank you. I really am grateful that you've taken the time to read this."

Thank you. I do apologize for the length.
