Raytheon SAS
I'm copying here an excerpt from an email you sent me regarding your recent edit to the article Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, which I partially reverted:
 * I understand that Wikipedia isn't an advertising site, yet (I'd) like to give users a more complete picture of SAS. Can we reach a compromise?

The problem with your edit was that it was not written with a neutral point of view -- and in fact, it included statements that were worded as official company positions ("For decades, we've supported military and civil customers with focused, forward-looking technology"). All edits to Wikipedia also need to be independently verifiable from reliable sources, and it's best if you can cite that source in the article.

Read up on the Wikipedia policies, and then feel free to add as much factual, verifiable, neutral-point-of-view information as you wish.
