Help re. Iris
Can an experienced editor please look over my page for Iris Distribution? Thanks!

Hey 1234thisw1k1, I'm putting a welcome template below this to give you some good links but you definitely seem to be off to a good start. Your page for Iris Distribution isn't bad at all and is well sourced throughout to show notability (the two biggest problems with new articles are that they don't show Notability or that they do not have Reliable Sources. While your article could definitely grow more it's off to a great start. If your a affiliated with the company you may want to read our notes about conflicts of interest if your not then you can skip over that part. Let me know if you have any more questions!.

Conflict of interest
Hi there, and welcome. I have a question: are you connected to the subject in some way, in business, or whatever? If not, skip this, but If so, then you have a conflict of interest, and thus it is very difficult to write a neutral, acceptable article. If this is the case, then we strongly recommend that you do not work on the article. There are options available to create an appropriately sourced article in your user area, and then request that it is created. Please read this essay on best practice, and the business FAQ. Thanks for your time,  Chzz  ►  23:23, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to add here to explain the tag I just placed on the article saying that it reads like an Ad. We want to try and keep articles to a neutral point of view as much as possible and when you read the article you get that there is an argument that the company is notable and deserves a spot on the Encyclopedia but it looks like it was written by someone from within the company trying to advertise it which we don't want at all. I'm planning on coming back a little later tonight/tomorrow to try and work on it for you but please feel free to edit if you think you can make it better.Jamesofur (talk) 23:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I apologize-- it is still a bit difficult to fully get a hang of writing in an encyclopedic manner. Working on it now. 1234thisw1k1 (talk) 18:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

If there is a tag on my article that specifies a problem, and I think I have addressed it after editing, am I allowed to remove the tag?
 * Yes, if you believe you have addressed the problem in a maintenance tag, you can remove it as long as you explain why you are removing the tag in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please let me know if there are any more questions.  Thanks!  --Mysdaao talk 18:31, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
