Hi Laurie - I read through the content and it looks good, but I think there may be too many spaces - just takes up a lot of space. Just an aesthetic value thing... Thanks Corwil (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

welcome

Status and Advice
The firm is probably notable, but the detail in the article made it almost unsupportable.

A Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. Don't just assert historical importance give references for it. It also needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release. Remember not to copy from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the firm and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material, such as the number of Macintosh computers of each model that you use, that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective clients--that sort of content is considered promotional-- Enough so, that if I had not decided to edit most of it out, which is beyond the scope of normal editing, I would have considered deleting the entire article as promotional. And nobody outside the company itself will care just which devices you turn off when not in use to save energy. Keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive. I did considerable reformatting to make the appearance more encyclopedic. As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 21:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
