Regarding your question at the Help Desk
Hi, JREiseman. I've just replied to your question at the Help Desk about self-promotion. In case you don't see my reply or have trouble finding it, I'll repost it here:


 * If you're asking this question as a company representative looking to create an article: firstly, thanks for asking here before ploughing ahead - it reflects well on you and your organisation that you've taken the time to familiarise yourself with our policies rather than inadvertently being responsible for spam. Secondly, you may wish to take a look at our guidelines on Conflicts of Interest and an interesting essay by one of the administrators who often deals with COIs, entitled "The Dark Side". In general, it may be best not to create an article about your own company to avoid the appearance of impropriety, even if you're careful to remain neutral. If your company is notable enough to warrant an article, it's likely that an independent party will decide to write one at some point.

I hope that clarifies things a bit. If you have any other questions, related to this or otherwise, feel free to drop me a note at my talk page. Happy editing, --YFB ¿  07:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
