Hi JikeSpingleton. I have re-inserted the advert tag to your above-captioned article, and added the notability tag. Because you have tagged the article as under construction, I haven't yet tagged the article for deletion (speedy or otherwise) despite the fact that there are no external references to information not generated by the company or its founders.

I dont understand how the entry is advertising? i assure you that it is being written from an objective, neutral, standpoint. I have referred to several other entries about similar companies and taken from them in the form of tone, style and formatting. The entry is still Under Construction and I am working on adding references. There is some content taken from w3c.org and I have referenced them at the bottom of the page. Please advise me on what further steps I could take to better the article and remove the advert tag from it... --JikeSpingleton (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:31, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you have a look WP:CORP and WP:NPOV. I agree that the advert tag isn't very well tailored to articles about companies that read like press releases / personal histories. But since this article isn't explicitly written by someone from the company (though the fact that your only contributions to Wikipedia articles are on this topic suggests this might be the case), it can't be tagged for self-promotion.

My own view (and I am not saying anybody important shares this view) is that articles that are uniformly positive and about a person or entity that isn't demonstrated to be noteworthy (through, for example, the inclusion of independent external references) are presumed to be non-neutral.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. —slakr^\ talk / 19:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article content and references

Hi Jike. Articles on Wikipedia are based on notable subjects and verifiable information. In order to achieve this, the information included needs to be sourced to references. Good references include newspaper and magazine article, and books. Articles that don't establish notability by including this kind of references, and articles whose contents aren't supported by references, are often deleted. Any questions? Post them here and I'll try to answer them. Welcome! Sorry I can't offer you any more cookies. But the ones you got look good. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
