IMAGETEC

I only have two days left of my summer internship and one of my big projects was to get the company on Wikipedia. With constantly getting deleted I obviously failed in this project. I have been waiting and looking but still this page is down. I took out all the one-sided verbage and made it simply facts. It is modeled just like Impact Networking, a competitor of ours, and I figured if that gets to stay why not this version of Imagetec. After I made the changes It was up for a few days but after I tried to upload our logo it got removed. I am just wondering if there is anything you can do personally to fix this. Create the page for me or something. I am just frustrated and out of ideas and would like to see this done before I go back to college. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.107.120.242 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 30 July 2008

I've tried to explain, previously, that simply not everything is going to end up on Wikipedia. I'd be a bit more understanding of the situation except that it seems the original version of the article was copied directly from CareerBuilder, it's been recreated multiple times without attempting to make it more neutral, and your current article sadly still reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article.

I'd like to make clear that I have absolutely nothing against your company, and that I have not (and do not intend) to look at the article of the competitor. Frankly, the existence of other articles has zero to do with the existence of this one.

If the company ends up in the news for some reason or otherwise becomes notable under the corporate notability guidelines (WP:CORP, which I've linked to before) then I'd even be willing to help make the article with you, but I'd insist we continue to adhere to the policies and guidelines that Wikipedia requires.

I am a volunteer, similar to you editing here except I've happened to have been around longer and made a few more edits. My first "article" was an article on a company that, frankly, I didn't like. I wanted to see if I could write something neutral on a topic I held a strong opinion regarding, and it worked well.

I don't stay here to delete articles and ruin peoples summers: I stay here because I want Wikipedia to be better. I like some of the article writers and enjoy reading what they've written. I'm not so great at article-writing myself, though I regularly defend the articles of others by removing vandalism.

If you want to make an actual impact here, hang around and learn how things work. Get a handle on what kinds of articles are regularly deleted and what articles stay and get improved...

...if you just want premium ad placement in an encyclopedia... well, go elsewhere. Sorry. Kylu (talk) 19:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
