Mostly: No, that is not going to make it into a Wikipedia article. Very little to none of that is appropriate encyclopedia content nor appropriately validated by reliably published third party sources with a reputation for fact checking, accuracy and editorial oversight. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:27, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Should Laughlin Constable be used as a guide, or should it be trimmed down to closer to this?Naraht (talk) 17:52, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

the LC article also suffered from PR bloat and spin, but in its current state [1] its a decent enough model to move towards: what has the subject of the article done that third parties took notice of? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:39, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Secondary Source

Although I'm sure that a lot of the information is provide by Lipman Hearne. I think that the information at https://ams.aaaa.org/eweb/content.aspx?WebCode=ViewAgencyInfo&AgencyKey=3a2142aa-d761-4166-b676-5b7679a9182d and the related pages on AAAA about Lipman Hearne could be used as references. I'm actually surprised LH hasn't updated the information at AAAA since August of 2012 though.Naraht (talk) 13:59, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

LH updating their business membership profile is not a secondary source. A secondary source would be someone not directly related to LH publishing information about LH: someone talking about them in a book, a historical profile in a trade magazine, a newspaper article talking about the impact or backfiring of a particular campaign. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:30, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
OTOH, WP:FRAT has *long* accepted Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities entries to be acceptable as references, what would you say the difference is?Naraht (talk) 17:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Non-secondary sources may also be used/considered reliable under certain circumstances, but the majority of the article content should be based on secondary sources. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:11, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
OK, in either case, AAAA business membership doesn't relate to Fraternities. :)Naraht (talk) 18:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for the heads-up that Lipman Hearne's information on AAAA is outdated. If I'm understanding correctly, someone familiar with our company, but not affiliated with us in any way, can update our information. And they should use and reference a reliable secondary source such as AAAA for the information. Once their updates are completed, someone from RPoD team will edit to make sure content is consistent with Wikipedia guidelines. Is this the proper process? RmeltonLH (talk) 19:19, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Someone not connected to the company, whether or not they are familiar with the company, can review content from third party sources and add what they feel is appropriate, based upon the basic content policies (which would include WP:NOT / WP:V / WP:OR / WP:NPOV). Other editors can review and alter content based on other sources or more accurately reflecting the sources or policies. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:07, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
