I am warning you about the editing of Wikipedia with conflict of interest. Please read of policy, WP:COI, and our our Business FAQ. The page you wrote for Knovel was almost deleted, and would have been had I not fixed it quickly--it still needs additional work. (I do not know if you are an employee or a consultant, but you are clearly one or the other).

The article Knovel is not in accord with our practices: see our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. The worst problem is that it does not contain 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases). What you need is citations from 'published articles in journals or other reliable sources that describe, not promote, the company and its products. Further, most of the space is devoted to the backgrounds of the two principal executives;this is not acceptable. The names of the ceo and the chairman of the board can be mentioned, but not ofd the other members of the board. If they are notable, and there are sutiable sources, then articles can be written about them individually. I removed t hebiographical material. The list of publishers you gave are presumably the publishers whose content you provide--a list of major database components is acceptable content, but it should have links to the Wikipedia articles about them, not the company homepages. There can be an external link to your own company home pages, but not to subpages within that site.

The article you are currently writing in user space has similar problems--a mix of a few usable references, and a great many unusable ones--and with the specific statements in the article unreferenced, as they need to be. Worse, I see no evidence at all that the term "Knovelization": has been used as a standard term for the formatting that the company provides, so the entire article is dubious.

Fortunately, I am myself well aware of the importance of the company, and, if you will go to the trouble of actually finding the sources, I will try to help reformat the article. I think you (or I) can incorporate a few of the references from the page you are working on, but they belong in the main article. I suggest you attempt only a single article on the company, and then perhaps on at least the president of the company, who does appear notable.

If you are going to write articles here, you must respect our guidelines. As an administrator here, I have helped many other publishers do acceptable articles, and I will help here too if you let it be possible. I'd like some response on this page acknowledging your willingness to edit in an appropriate manner. DGG (talk) 23:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
