If you make claims for a product, you must show that it is notable and that any claims for its effectiveness have independent verifiable references - otherwise it's spam. Jimfbleak (talk) 18:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It has no references to show that it meets the [Wikipedia:Notability|notability guidelines]]
 * 2) It is written like an advertisement as they strive to meet and exceed national, state, and local... standards (assume it's used in the US?)
 * 3) Developed after research and consultation with teachers across America (source?) provides students with real world, concrete examples that clarify abstract concepts and strengthen understanding.
 * Thanks for your message. I can do no better than agree with Jimfbleak's comments, and reiterate that you have a conflict of interest, as you work for the company concerned, and therefore shouldn't be writing about them anyway, as to do so conflicts with the requirement that edits be from a neutral point of view.

 * Well, certainly 1. above applies - there's nothing to show why the company is notable, thus meriting inclusion in Wikipedia. Any claims of notability, as with 3, have to be backed up by verifiable reliable sources. GBT/C 20:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Start it in your sandbox (so on this page - User:Mlavoriano/Sandbox) first - you'll get a bit more leeway and time to get the article up to scratch than you would if it were in the main article space. When you're ready, pop a request on somewhere like the administrators' noticeboard asking someone to comment and, if appropriate, move it or help you move it over to the mainspace.
