[edit]As I have been notified by a Wikipedia user that posting a page discussing my employer may cause my submission to be tagged for speedy deletion, I refer to Template:Db-g11: “simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify and article for this criterion”, Also under the username policy: Use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited....Similarly, editing with a possible conflict of interest, such as editing an article about your employer, is not disallowed.
I have followed Wikipedia guidelines and removed all promotional speak and included articles reflecting poorly on my company (see blacklist threats). Furthermore, I have referenced multiple outside articles regarding the relevance of Yesmail.
Finally, in regards to Yesmail’s significance, the sheer fact that Yesmail is referenced in multiple other Wikipedia articles gives a good indication that it is significant enough to be listed in Wikipedia.

How about not starting every sentence with "Yesmail"? Either amateur writing or a cheap ploy to brand the word into your mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.9.146.243 (talk) 18:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]The first entry of both the article and the talk page was by User:Cneedhamyesmail. First contribution here is signed in plain text Catherine Needham, who seems to be the Catherine Needham who is VP of Marketing – Infogroup Interactive, the company that owns Yesmail and which acquired @Once in 2005. The contributor appeared briefly in 2008 and seems to have disappeared. I fear Ms. Needham was a victim of WP:BITE. Woz2 (talk) 10:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
...in addition it seems plausible that contributor User:lindavetter is Linda Vetter of Yesmail http://www.yesmail.com/News/Press-Releases/Details.aspx?ContentID=129 Woz2 (talk) 12:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
...in addition IP contributor User:199.125.14.2 appears to be associated with a domain belonging to Yesmail's parent http://toolserver.org/~overlordq/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?lookup=199.125.14.2 Just sayin' Woz2 (talk) 12:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
...for completeness there is one minor edit by User:Purandardas who appears to be Purandar Das of Yesmail. However this was a spelling correction and is not a concern Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Non-controversial_edits Woz2 (talk) 12:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
