PA Consulting article
Appreciating that you are new to Wikipedia (I haven't been around that long myself), and that it can be very hard to find verifiable sources for everything that you want to put in an article, but can you find more independent sources to support the PA Consulting Group article? The trouble is that virtually all of the sources at the moment are press releases from PA consulting, or the company's own annual report. I appreciate that very often these internal sources do explain the company best, but from the perspective of WP:Reliable sources, these are self-published. I'm sure that given the size of the company, there are plenty of independent analysts and journalists that will have written about it. If you can support the main facts about notability (size of company, global standing, stock performance, quality of output etc), from independent sources, then the self-published material is fine for adding interesting detail to complete the picture. I have no axe to grind about this particular article - I only happened to look because someone mentioned it in a discussion about copyright, but some Wikipedians (understandable given the threat from spammers and cranks) can take quite a hard line about sources not been quoted or not being independent.
