Hi Doreen, it's important that company articles are written in a neutral encyclopaedic way, and that all claims are supported by independent verifiable sources

In the selected text that follows, I've bolded parts that need to be removed or verified as above, and indicated where refs are needed. I appreciate that you have references, but it's best to put them in-line so it's clear what they are referencing.

 * Doreen, I've copyedited Navisite. The PCI link goes to a disambiguation page, and i don't know what it stands for. You need to fix the link or spell it out to avoid confusion jimfbleak (talk) 06:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * It reads as if it's taken from the company website - why offers rather than provides? Why no neutral comparison with your competitors? I've seen far worse examples than this and a bit of work should make it acceptable. Let me know if you need any help, jimfbleak (talk) 16:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If you need to use the same ref more than once, use for the first occurrence, and for subsequent uses jimfbleak (talk) 17:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
