[edit]

This company has been in business for 21 years and does a substantial amount of business in the Pacific Northwest. I have no connection with the company other than that I see their products frequently. Here are some Google hits for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer mentioning the company. Here are a few more Google hits from other sources. White 720 (talk) 05:27, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've cited a few outside sources that have reviewed the company's products or business from a critical or journalistic perspective. I expect that this is enough to establish the notability of the company. White 720 (talk) 05:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New edition

[edit]

Hi, I worked on the article, I thought it was missing more of its history. I also deleted the banner because I don´t think it is currently written in a promotional tone (I reviewed the history of the article and before it did deserve that banner). If there is a different opinion I have no problem to put it back and try to improve the article.--BelleBenny (talk) 18:05, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Addition

[edit]

I have added updated information about the company especially about its latest partnership and newly launched products. I have backed this information using reliable resources. Hannah.hill747 (talk) 08:01, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These are not "partnerships", they are collaborations. Do not use the word "partnership" unless there is a verifiable legal partnership. You have never declared your paid editorship; it is not appropriate for you to be editing this article. Wikipedia is not Talking Rain's marketing platform. Julietdeltalima (talk) 14:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Julietdeltalima thank you for the clarification. I have improved it. Hannah.hill747 (talk) 07:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You should not be editing this article at all, though. Have you read WP:COI and WP:PAID as you have been asked? Julietdeltalima (talk) 15:09, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These seem mostly to be press releases, which aren't great sources, please see WP:PRSOURCE, and WP:RS more generally. Do you have decent secondary sources covering any of these points and establishing that they're worth mentioning in the article? JaggedHamster (talk) 07:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
thank you @JaggedHamster for letting me know, can you also please guide other than PR Newswire what sources would be great to back this information? Samantha.jackson5678 (talk) 07:29, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The two pages I linked should provide a good guide to that. WP:RSP has a list of some specific sources and if they're considered reliable or not. JaggedHamster (talk) 08:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Press releases are not reliable independent sources and the proposed content is VERY promotional. Theroadislong (talk) 08:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
