Article for creation[edit]

The article is in Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Net Impact. You can see older versions in the history, and you can edit the first version to copy from it - but do not save copyrighted text again.

You can edit the page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Net Impact, or you can make a userspace draft - and in either case, you can ask us to look at it again. But please, before you do, read the below;

You have a conflict of interest. Please read the business FAQ. I suggest that you consider working on some other existing articles - on any subject at all. You'll soon learn more about the way Wikipedia works, and you'll be in a much better position to then deal with the tricky business of neutrality on articles about organizations. There's plenty of articles that need work - try here, for example.

Articles require 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the source"

In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;

Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions

Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.

Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the persons own website, or their publishers/labels website, or anything like that. We avoid press-releases. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.
