Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did in Business intelligence tools, you will be blocked from editing. --Brat32 05:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Strategic planning software
I noticed that the Strategic planning software article is off to a rough start and have some comments I am posting simultaneously to and. I suggest that the article is salvageable.

The problem started when Brat32 identified some self-interest edits made to promote a company. In my opinion, Brat32's vigilance is appropriate and helpful to Wikipedia. I do the same type of thing almost everyday, much to the displeasure of a long list of corporate users. Brat32 is to be commended for this diligence.

Brat32 placed a speedy delete tag on the strategic planning software article, which normally an administrator would review and then decide if it should be deleted (or not). However, before an administrator could act, the article was blanked by Ericaolsen. This is not quite proper protocol, because the speedy delete tag was deleted, which should not be done, especially by the creator of the article.

However, reviewing the article, I don't see a problem with writing generically about that type of software, even by someone who is involved in the business, so long as their own company is not promoted. They know a lot about the topic and should be able to write about it generically in a well-informed manner. Any biases that creep in will be corrected by other knowledgeable editors.

I reworked the article, removing some of the obvious references to specific software. I don't know anything about the topic, so it will need more clean up.

So, I suggest allowing the article to grow and even invite Ericaolsen to expand it, hopefully providing citations from third-party sources. If any of the phrases are directly from your own software documenation, they need to be come out and be rewritten or someone will soon tag the article as a copyright violation.
