What I learned
I learned in the last 24 hours, that the structure of Wikipedia is wasting a lot of peoples time. Editors do not follow the Wikipedia guidelines. I found a lot of articles that are 100% inaccurate, others are written by paid writters from big companies.

I like the idea of Wikipedia, but it looks like it is just another good idea that needs a miracle to work. So I'll not waste another day here. Have a fun day, and enjoy the power of the - so called - experts .....

 * Hi Ptogel. I'm sorry you've had a bad experience here. If you found a 100% inaccurate article, please fix it, or at least tag it or  so that other editors know to try to fix it. I'm sure you found a lot more accurate information than inaccurate. Articles written by paid writers is similar to what it appears you wanted to do, and in fact I think that the nomination of Artbyus for deletion was partly motivated by MyWikiBiz trying to make a point, which is also expressly forbidden, and the reason I tried to clean up your article. It is difficult to write about something you know in a neutral and verifiable way, but there are a few articles about companies written by people associated with them that do not appear to be biased. An issue of the GFDL is that you must be prepared to "let go" of your text. --Scott Davis Talk 03:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
