Hi. Please don't add back all that marketing-type material. The background is that over the last few days an IP and an account associated with the company edited the article into more or less of a marketing manifesto, to the point where it was speedy-deleted as an advertisement. See discussion on my talk page at User talk:JohnCD where I told them that I would restore the previous version, but if the article was re-spammed it would be deleted again. When I saw all that stuff had been put back, I thought you must be the company's marketing department again, but I see you have been around for a bit, so I guess you were just being helpful.

We have a lot of trouble with companies who think Wikipedia is a free platform for PR, and they can't really be blamed because there is no explanation at sign-up time about what Wikipedia is not for, but we have to be ruthless if we are not to become another Myspace.

The "Show preview" button
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 02:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
