Talk:Velti

I am curious as to why the entirety of my document is repeatedly deleted when I used the page within Wikipedia as a guide to my content inclusion. Can someone from Wikipedia please explain why their content is allowable and mine is not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elourou (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia is composed of overworked volunteers. The is the way it is not because of bias within Wikipedia (and I'd be curious to find out what in particular you think the bias is), but because nobody's noticed it or gotten around to chop it down yet. The article needs pruning the same way that the Velti article did -- details of the management team and executive board don't belong, and a list of article at the end, with no relation to the article, don't belong either. I'm going to go through and trim the article now -- thanks for finding that for us! -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 13:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the response. Please advise on how we can have the Needs References box removed from our page. After your pruning of the aforementioned company's page, you left a link to their official website, as you did with us, however only we have the Needs References box. I would like to provide the data required, but do not understand how, since articles that I originally included (such as a third party write up about our joint venture with IPG and a third party description of the services Velti provides - both topics which remain in our Wikipedia page) were deleted. Please advise what are acceptable sources for Wikipedia so I may provide those, or remove the box. Further, please know that I did read your page on acceptable sources but still require further clarification. Thank you for your assistance. Elourou (talk) 08:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

While I know you are all very busy, would it be possible to receive a response regarding the Needs Resouces box being removed? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in Advance. Elourou (talk) 07:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
