I am trying to raise awareness for online tutoring companies (including my own), so I listed some of the more well known tutoring companies. Surely this is a legitimate posting since a) all of us engage in online tutoring and b) are more relevant than the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium (which is a for-profit entity, too!)

Thank you.
 * Not, it's not legit per WP:EL. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle. Thanks, OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

If that is the case, why are for-profit companies in other sections? Specifically this link here:

TutorVista, among other for-profit firms, is listed. I listed them, too, when I posted online tutoring firms. Again, I am not looking to promote myself. I am trying to raise awareness for the entire industry. It just seems logical that if a user is searching wikipedia for "online tutoring" that he/she would want to see a list of sites that provide online tutoring.
 * I removed non-wiki links on that article (i.e., the only remaining listings are platforms that have Wikipedia articles. Note that only notable platforms/software should have their own articles. If there are non-notable ones listed, feel free to tag them for deletion. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 17:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
