Pinot gris

At the Pinot gris page, I removed your florid wording which was not appropriate to an encyclopedia description. In an encyclopedia, wines are not described as "oozing" aromas. Binksternet (talk) 21:46, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Question about Wikipedia

{{help me}} No worries Binksternet. Thanks for your help, I agree as well. Just curious though, I work with Gayot.com and I was asked to create a page for our company. Is that ok? I know that it was deleted in the past by Griswaldo. I'm still pretty new with the whole wikipedia thing, and any help that you could provide would be great. I'm just trying to do the right thing and respect the wiki institution. Thanks! Sslater4 (talk) 22:48, 12 August 2011 (UTC)sslater4[reply]

Easy... We are encouraged not to write about ourselves or our companies. That gives one a high conflict of interest and will naturally prevent you from writing with the correct neutral point of view which is required here. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:57, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note some key points, we often quote...

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory
Avoid conflict of interest
To be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable
