Independent Media

I saw you adding references, which is good, but I don't think they're really independent, since it's basically an interview with you about the company. Is there something more, well, independent you can use? Acroterion _(talk) 04:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but that's the only reference at this point. LondonSteve (talk) 04:28, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That I know of at least. I'm looking. LondonSteve (talk) 04:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is an absolutely unpaid listing in their Stakeholder's section. Corporate Governance Will that work? LondonSteve (talk) 04:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zoominfo is using our data. Grrrr.... http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Linegar_Chris_780688737.aspx LondonSteve (talk) 05:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, your rewrite is exemplary, literally - it's a good example of how to make an encyclopedic entry. Keep looking for independent refs, bevause they'll be crucial to survival if there's a full deletion debate. Regards, Acroterion _(talk) 15:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll keep on looking and get back to you when I have something that I feel suites. It may take a month or so but we'll get noted sometime, somewhere. Cheers for the assist. I realize it's above and beyond. Very nice. LondonSteve (talk) 16:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you do new page patrol and deletions, you get a lot of angry comments concerning the deletion of cleaning services, MySpace bands, girlfriends and such. It's usually worthwhile to encourage those who are making a good-faith effort to understand and meet the guidelines, even if it takes a while, just to remind ourselves not to allow ourselves to fall into the role of Wiki-cop, which can be all too easy. Feel free to have a try at some of our other 2.5 million articles, since you seem to be enjoying yourself, in the meantime. Best wishes, Acroterion _(talk) 17:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
