Hi Excirial,

I appreciate the feedback, but I am slightly confused. Not sure If I agree that the article is "advertising", but I resepct your view/synopsis. I am a freelance writer and was commissioned by this company to create a Wiki entry - I do understand what Wiki is all about. As such, I took on the goal to write about the company, but only after reviewing entries of 'like' organsations in Wiki.

At this juncture, I assumed the entry would be valid, This sentiment was based on quite a few reviews, but specifically the article on the company "Relyon" (ref http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Relyon). I would appreciate more detailed feedback, i.e. what makes this article viewed as being advertising? More basically, I need ro know whether there is any point pursuing an article for Integritie.

Appreciate your thoughts as I don't want to waste your or my time. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMWhyte (talkcontribs) 01:20, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there PMWhyte,
To be frank i am not surprised to hear that you are a freelance writer working on the behalf of a company - the article's structure and writing suggested as much (Its structure is advertorial, but the writing's quality suggest it wasn't written by a random company employee, nor is it so toe-curling spammy that i would have suspected a social media style PR firm). Having said that i would point out that editing topics one has a conflict of interest is discouraged, and that paid advocacy is especially frowned upon. Since companies and PR agencies cause massive amounts of cleanup work you will likely find a large share editors to be non-supportive at best and downright unwilling to help in any way at worst when writing a paid article.
Having said that, I can drop a few hints for the article:
  • Never base any article on another random article since these can be bad examples - The Relyon article you mentioned has been tagged for removal for example. If you need an example use an article from the good article category (Link specific for businesses).
  • A company article isn't a list of products the company releases. Nor should it contain lists of "Key Features" followed by an external link to the products website. External links - if relevant, belong in the external links section and never in the main article body.
  • Two IBM sources (Related company, doesn't pass the independent criteria) and two other sources won't cut it as far as the notability criteria goes (Also see: WP:42)
Having said that - statistically taken the survival rate for company article's is probably hovering around 1-3% though this includes article's which were literal copy-pastes from a commercial website sans any sources and other similar varieties. Even so, only very few companies are truly notable and a fair share of is eventually while it initially slipped trough the review net.
