Answer
Hi Bob, in answer to your question "how our listing is to be listed", I would have to say that you may need to read Wikipedia policy relating to conflict of interest. From experience, it is virtually impossible for an employee of a company to objectively write about the company they work for. Wikipedia is based on many principles, and a neutral point of view is paramount. As is not becoming a mere business directory. Some of the tactics used to insert the business name into the encyclopaedia were also ill-advised. As you say, it was your first "stab" at an article, so I will assume good faith and leave this official welcome notice to further your reading on our policies. Thank you.

Second answer
I will have a look at the original article to see if anything is salvagable - only I don't have much time at the moment all of a sudden! However, that does not stop another editor from doing the same. What I will say, though, is that even if the article were "re-created" to a NPoV standard, it may still be contested on other grounds, so I cannot guarantee anything at this stage. If you are willing to remain patient, I will give it a go, when time allows. Bubba hotep 17:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
