Multiple issues (removing a template from January 24, 2014)
I have removed a template with multiple issues added by User:Unforgettableid from January 24, 2014. The reason is described below:


 * 1) Conflict of interest (WP:COI). As a main contributer to this article I claim that my primary role (being a Wikipedian while editing) was not undermined by any secondary one. So I truly believe that I don't have a conflict of interest, as I make my edits putting the Wikipedia aims in the first place. However I would like to add a Template:Connected contributor with links to relevant guidance in order not to declare conflict of interest, but to keep other editors informed about my possible connection to the subject of the article that was voiced by User:Unforgettableid. I would like to draw everybody's attention to the following warning on the page Conflict of interest/Noticeboard: "The COI guideline does not absolutely prohibit people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject. Editors who have such a connection can still comply with the COI guideline by discussing proposed article changes first, or by making uncontroversial edits. Be careful not to out other editors. Wikipedia's policy against harassment takes precedence over the COI guideline".
 * 2) The article reads like a news release, or is written in an overly promotional tone (NOT). This article is not journalism (it does not constitute a primary source);  means of promotion (information about the company is written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery, all the facts are verifiable with independent, third-party sources).
 * 3) Notability guideline for companies. The subject of the article meets the general notability guideline. It has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources (not trivial or incidental). All content is verifiable (for more info see Notability (organizations and companies)). --Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 13:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
