Comments

The first thing that is readily apparent is that the article appears to be promotional (see WP:Promotion) and would likely not get accepted or soon deleted because of tone alone. It needs to read more like an encyclopedic article (see WP:Encyclopedic style).

There are a list of sources, but I'm having a hard time matching content up to the content of the article. So, I added one sentence and added a source as an example. It seems like most of the content comes from the website itself, according to this duplication detector report, which is a copyright violation - and relates to the promotion issue. The sources that you've got are good sources of information for the article.

To add an image, such as the company's logo, you need to get approval by the company to use the logo.

I'm wondering, is the article about the company or the website? Is the only way that customers hire crew through the website?--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I needed to remove the content that was a copyright violation and began building content from the secondary sources you provided - and some additional ones that I found. I moved some of the sources into the Further reading section, since they seemed to duplicate information from the other articles. But if there is additional content that would be encyclopedic in nature, the article can be expanded further.

Hopefully this gives you a better idea of the tone of the article and type of content.--22:30, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Letter to request an image

Dear ,

Hello. I am a Wikipedian. I am creating an article about Find a Crew and wish to add an image to it with your company logo and perhaps a screenshot of the website.

If you would like to add it to the article, I can do it for you, or you can do it yourself.

If you would like me to upload the image for you, please email it to me. After I upload it, I will email you back the release form (shown below), filled out properly, for you to send to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

To upload the image yourself, you will need to register at Wikicommons, the image storehouse for Wikipedia. It takes about 20 seconds: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Commons%3AWelcome&type=signup

Here is the link to upload the image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard

If the image appears elsewhere in the media, then after uploading, the release form provided below needs to be sent in. If you own the image, and upload the image yourself, and it appears nowhere else in the media, then no permission form is needed.

If you have any questions, please ask. Many thanks.

Best wishes,

< How you'd like to sign the letter > http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Sailor_sailaway

You can also see Wikipedia:Image use policy for more information.--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:18, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See also Wikipedia:Software screenshots, which is applicable if you want a screenshot. It doesn't seem necessary since the website is a click away. If one is desired, though, I'd recommend using the letter to send an email to the company requesting a screenshot.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
