please be patient with me, as I am new. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of making a wiki, and plan on creating a real page, not a test page. I appologize greatly for any inconvienance

• Sorry, but despite your assertion, the article you created is, indeed, a test page. Anyway, I understand your motivations, and that's absolutely fine. It's probably just best to wait until you have some actual content to put into the article before you create it. However, there are a few things that I think you need to bear in mind first. One of the major issues is that, as the owner the company, you have a distinct conflict of interest that makes it significantly likelier the page will be scrutinized as being promotional. Second, you may want to look over the notability criteria for companies, as well as the page on notability in general. If your company doesn't meet these criteria, your article will get shot down rather quickly, and that'll mean wasted time and effort. I'd rather you not have to go through that experience! Please leave word on my talk page if you have questions. - Vianello (talk) 08:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
