Categories
Have you guys set up your Categories. The category Category:WikiProject Business articles by priority clearly exists, but when I click on the categories in the column and row headings of Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Business and economics articles by quality statistics they are not working and looking at Talk:Walter O'Malley something is wrong with Category:Unassessed-priority WikiProject Business articles.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Tony. The project's name was just changed and I missed the cat. Thanks for pointing that out. Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Business and economics articles by quality statistics is now defunct. Hopefully the bot will be updating Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WikiProject Business articles by quality statistics in the future. Thanks --Patrick (talk) 21:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

MarketLeverage
I am the Marketing Communications Specialist for MarketLeverage. I have tried to post an article about the company, but now I see that it could be considered advertising or a conflict of interest. I see that other affiliate networks like Clickbooth and Hydra LLC have been included on Wikipedia. Please consider my article below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mlrebecca/New_article Mlrebecca (talk) 20:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)ML Rebecca 8/5/2008

Lifestyle Communities
I am a Marketing Project Manager at "Lifestyle Communities". I have tried posting an article for Lifestyle Communities, but it has been deleted due to 'blatant advertising' and I believe conflict of interest.

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Business and economics
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7. We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations. A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Business and economics portal
Just a friendly reminder that if you come across any good articles that deserve to be recognized, please suggest them at suggestion page. The same goes for images, economies, and quotes. Thanks! --Patrick (talk) 03:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's nice to know that the portal is still actively maintained :) Gary King ( talk ) 18:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I nominated Bank run for next month, as it's timely. Also please see the next section. Eubulides (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Bank run importance?
A reader wrote in Talk:Bank run, "this article should be nominated for HIGH importance, in consideration of a US$17 Billion dollar run on Washington Mutual Bank forcing the hand of federal regulators to move on the largest bank bailout in US history." I've edited Bank run so I shouldn't act on this suggestion, and I'm forwarding it here. Eubulides (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I moved it to WikiProject Finance and gave it Top importance. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Dummy corporation / Shell (corporation): Merge? (Also need cites)
Would there be any point in merging Dummy corporation and Shell (corporation) (and if we do, under which name?) Also, both of these articles are tagged "article does not cite any references or sources". -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 13:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Software Engineering vs Marketing neutrality dispute
I have been disputing that there is more marketing involvement in software development than what appears to be represented on wikipedia for 2 years now. I started an article on wikipedia which was disputed upon creation, but was accepted for 2 years after the compromise until now. I could use some help here from what appears to be WP:DE trivializing marketing involvement in software development. The software engineer after being rebuked by a moderator for WP:DE is now disputing the neutrality of the page as it is. I've made my case here:Talk:Software development. Your support would be appreciated. Oicumayberight (talk) 19:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Business profiles - paypoint plc
Hi there, I work for an agency and I was looking to create an profile page about one of my client's business. Paypoint plc which owns paypoint.net (the business in question) currently has a profile page, so I was looking to add a paragraph about companies owned by Paypoint plc and from there add a link to a paypoint.net profile page. Is this the best way to do it? If not what would you recommend? I look for forward to your comments. Thanks in advance, Dina Jones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dina Jones (talk • contribs) 17:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Fortune (magazine), A-Class, really?
I'm not a member of this Wikiproject but I was surprised to find this rated A-class. — Realist  2  15:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Oxygen bar - request for other views
Oxygen bar, an article within the scope of your project has been completely re-written as an advert (in my opinion). I have reverted once, but User:Oxygeninc has now reverted back to their promotional version. I have explained my views on the talk page and requested discussion, but this SPA has not left a single comment, nor edit summary. Any third-party view on the relative merits of the two versions would be appreciated. Thanks --RexxS (talk) 23:32, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Lists of non-notable companies
Does any editor here believe that we should compile lists of non-notable companies? For example, would it be useful to list all the subsidiary and associated companies that make up theList of assets owned by General Electric? The reason I ask because there is a proposal at WT:FICT suggesting that non-notable topics should be assembled in lists instead of their own individual articles. --Gavin Collins (talk) 15:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't come across any lists like that. There are certainly lists with non-notable companies on them, but none with just them. The problem is that it would be just too massive to maintain. Cheers --Patrick (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

History of marketing
Dear editors, I began to work on the History of marketing and proposed a new outline for it. I welcome the participation of experts and others interested in the field. The idea is to write this article and include a summary in the main marketing article, as a historical overview is missing. Cheers, Editor br (talk) 17:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Article on mid-2000's AIG scandal?
Is the scandal notable enough to warrant its own article? If not, how much additional information about the scandal, if any, should be added to the main AIG article? I appreciate any input. --Bowlhover (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Editing the article Entrepreneurial mindset
Hi editors. I would welcome your contribution to this difficult article. The main author Max Senges has contributed much of the material derived mainly from his own personal research. Without the contribution of other editors to present a conscise article, it reads as an academic paper. I urge others to discuss how the editing might be tackled. &mdash; F red  114  06:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
