Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Loadstar. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. NellieBly (talk) 21:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

LoadStar Global
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, LoadStar Global, may be copied from http://loadstarglobal.com/solutions.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:40, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Nickcova. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. - Happysailor  (Talk) 21:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

The page LoadStar Global has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be blatant advertising which only promotes something, and which is unlikely to be suitable for an article (or at best would need a fundamental rewrite). Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anything, whether a company, product, group, service, person, religious or political belief, or anything else. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Status and Advice
I remains promotional, with no demonstration of importance. and I tagged it again. Three different administrators have now deleted it. First of all, the need is to show this particular company notable, not the general technology of securing RFID as used in ocean transport. The extensive discussion of the general subject is not to the point, and serves only as advertising for the company's products and patents. Second, that their parent company is notable, does not make them notable. Perhaps you mean to say that it has been the company developing the technology, and the leading or only company selling it. If so, you must prove it with 3rd party sources. That a firm has patents, does not show they are valid, and only 3rd party reliable sources can show it.  DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Following-up...
Hi DGG,

Thanks for responding and providing feedback. My first comment would be that the original article from Jan. 2012 -- and the subsequent editor deletions and feedback -- are not particularly relevant to the current article. I would be the first to admit that the initial attempt at the article was not in-line with the objectives of WP; something that I immediately understood once the feedback was provided. In contrast, the current article was written and structured modeling similar articles that appear throughout WP for corporations.

Therefore, it seems that the big question is related to the importance. Qualitatively, one could say that the LoadStar team were the first to make commercially available products for intermodal shipment security using advanced wireless technologies. And that the LoadStar team were the ones that essentially proved that to the world -- both commercial entities and governments. All the participants in the industry would vouch for that fact. However, there is nothing independently cite-able to state that, unless people were interviewed. The commercial contracts are confidential information, as is the work with the Japanese, S. Korea, Chinese, Panamanian, US, Netherlands, UK, Colombian, etc. -- governments.

That being said, what is public information are the patents. The patent examiner is tasked with evaluating all the "prior art" and determining what inventions were first and what is novel.

If one believes that securing the intermodal supply chain -- which includes the vast majority of the food supply, pharmaceuticals, and most everything else tangible that we use/consume -- then surely the fact that US and international patent examiners say that the LoadStar team's inventions were first makes them important in the field. To me that seems more objective, and with greater authority, then e.g. a journalist writing an article on the subject. We all know too many corporations that pay for articles to be written that make them sound better than they are.

My two-cents.

I look forward to receiving your comments on this. Thanks.
