Mis-understood your earlier direction. Your guidance is accepted. Regarding the articles written by a third party on the subject matter that I posted as external references. Are you saying this is not acceptable? Mark Cowan (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. If you posted links to third-party references, then I guess I must have missed them as buried in all the links to your own site! Posting relevant and suitable links to third-party sites is entirely acceptable, so please feel free to re-add them if I've deleted any.

Hi, I think I know why it looked like it was our site. The articles were from a membership only publication (Inside Reference Data) which charges for reading. Since we were interviewed in the article along with others they gave us permission to host the content for others to read on our web site. In reality the links in the articles are from the company that created the article ... they are not ours. I can remove them if you want. Mark Cowan (talk) 16:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
