The CEO Show with Robert Reiss
Just a heads up to let you know that the current version of this article is pretty far from policy here. The only "sources" are the website and another that is affiliated with the show. Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources explains that the sources must be true 3rd parties (ie: not affiliated, not just a pr.com type website, should be not in the promotion biz at all). Also, it is currently just a list of "guests", each of which is not sourced, thus subject to deletion. In otherwords, it looks more like an ad for the show than an article. I will give it a few days, but if it doesn't get up to snuff, I will forced to send it to Articles For Deletion and let the community decide. P HARMBOY ( TALK ) 15:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Editor's Comments on "The CEO Show with Robert Reiss" Wiki page
As you have noticed, this is my first time to create a page on Wikipedia and I have a lot to learn. I am trying to clean up my submission and have begun to add 3rd party references to substantiate content on the Page.

In respect to the list of "guests" who have been interviewed, my purpose was not to advertise, but to demonstrate the range of enterprise types ( for profit & non-profit ), industries ( retail, business services, travel, etc ) with whom the guests are associated. I am looking at your suggestion about adding statements on "the significance of what he [ a guest ] does, but must do a little thinking about how to do this. Thanks for your insights.

Additional Changes to "The CEO Show with Robert Reiss" Wiki page
Thanks for the guidance in the submission to Wikipedia. As you suggested, I have removed from the list of guests about half the entries, and I have added a verbatim citing about Robert Reiss from Harvard Business Review with the attribution details. I think this is as far as I can take this submission and hope that the changes are appropriate.


 * I accidently found your comments here. The best place to discuss an article is on the talk page for the actual article.  That way everyone interested in the article can participate.  The article is 100% better (via policy) than the first day.  Articles about people, where it isn't obvious how "notable" they are, tend to get deleted fast around here.  That is why it is important to establish the notability in a clear way with at least one citation, on the first edit.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 11:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

A couple of issues where I could use some help: Issue 1. I am searching for way to improve the "notability" aspect of the article. In your suggestion in the paragraph above, were you referring to the notability of the host of The CEO Show, or did this mean individual guests that were interviewd? Issue 2. In regard to the tag ( the box at the top of the page that speaks about "cleanup to meet Wikipedia standards" ), is there something in particular that I can do to get this removed? The tag puts a kind of negative cast on the content that follows, I think. --Rjabski (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
