HarperCollins
By your user name, I will presume you work for HarperCollins. As you can imagine, this creates a potential conflict of interest in your editing. I myself worked in the book wholesaling business, thus have some familiarity with the industry, but have no financial state in my editing on this article. Wikipedia forbids paid editing, but does not forbid you from editing here if the edits are from a neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV), sourced, and noncontroversial. However, having stated this, I do find a lot of your edits useful. By your deleting the defunct imprints, i was able to create lists of current and defunct imprints, which is appropriate as this is an encyclopedia and not a business listing, but which is more useful than the merged list. Awards should be associated with the individual books, not the publisher. What we need is a separate history of Collins as a publisher. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:23, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
