Hello JAGG102502. I've copied part of your draft article to: Draft:Jaros, Baum & Bolles (JB&B) and archived the rest for future reference. It is a delicate balancing act because I have to put in enough to show that the company is notable but not so much that it looks like advertising. Can you please supply some sources for the information I have put in Draft:Jaros, Baum & Bolles (JB&B)? Roberttherambler (talk) 12:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Roberttherambler. I just saw this today. I apologize for not acting more quickly, but I didn't realize you'd moved it forward (expected to see some kind of notification at the top). I will do that today. Thanks again.JAGG102502 (talk) 15:02, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Roberttherambler Hi. I added the references to the draft as you requested. I also added citations to the "firsts" in the archived version. I did this because I believe that much of the reason that this company is notable is that it was responsible for multiple innovations in its field. If you think it's appropriate, you could move the milestones (with toned-down intro sentence) to the History section. If not, that's fine too. Thanks for the help. Regards.JAGG102502 (talk) 12:44, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Roberttherambler I read last night on an instructional page that listing "firsts" does not contribute to notability -- though Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell would probably disagree -- but instead is a sign of self-promotion. So I retract the above suggestion and better appreciate your edits. This Wikipedia thing is harder than it looks.JAGG102502 (talk) 12:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to User:Roberttherambler and Shock Brigade Harvester Boris for helping me to get this into a publishable state and for the overall advice.
