Move

Ok, it appears that everything is set. I archived the last talk page to archives number 4. --Patrick (talk) 22:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice work. II | (t - c) 21:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

MarketLeverage

I am the Marketing Communications Specialist for MarketLeverage. I have tried to post an article about the company, but now I see that it could be considered advertising or a conflict of interest. I see that other affiliate networks like Clickbooth and Hydra LLC have been included on Wikipedia. Please consider my article below:

I responded at your talk page. --Patrick (talk) 21:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Bank of China (Hong Kong) FAR

Bank of China (Hong Kong) has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Lifestyle Communities

I am a Marketing Project Manager at "Lifestyle Communities". I have tried posting an article for Lifestyle Communities, but it has been deleted due to 'blatant advertising' and I believe conflict of interest. Please consider my article and help me to get it posted. Thanks!

Lifestyle Communities

I posted here at the beginning of this week and haven't heard anything back regarding my article. Please let me know if I am not posting on the correct Project page or if I need to go about getting my article posted in another way. Thanks! EmRitter (talk) 20:38, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Lost in translation

Tornel is labored with atrocious translation, such as,

"When these enterpises closed, put it beards to soak and still the bussines together specialization in the niche sales to retail to vehicles and trucks. This movement it allows still force in the market."

I'd fix it, if I had more than the vaguest notion of what it's supposed to mean. I'm cross posting this hoping somebody with Spanish & decent sources can address it. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 12:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Is Universal Product Code in your project's scope?

An IP user has recently added your project's banner to Talk:Universal Product Code, along with several others and other talk page banners. If this article is really in your project's scope, please rate it; otherwise please remove the banner. Thanks! Anomie ⚔ 21:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, i did an assessment on it. --Patrick (talk) 23:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Definitely belongs in Business; probably not in Economics though, as was discussed at WT:ECON. Gary King (talk) 18:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Business and economics

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Business and economics portal

Just a friendly reminder that if you come across any good articles that deserve to be recognized, please suggest them at suggestion page. The same goes for images, economies, and quotes. Thanks! --Patrick (talk) 03:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

It's nice to know that the portal is still actively maintained :) Gary King (talk) 18:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I nominated Bank run for next month, as it's timely. Also please see the next section. Eubulides (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Bank run importance?

A reader wrote in Talk:Bank run #"High" importance nomination, "this article should be nominated for HIGH importance, in consideration of a US$17 Billion dollar run on Washington Mutual Bank forcing the hand of federal regulators to move on the largest bank bailout in US history." I've edited Bank run so I shouldn't act on this suggestion, and I'm forwarding it here. Eubulides (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I moved it to WikiProject Finance and gave it Top importance. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Dummy corporation / Shell (corporation): Merge? (Also need cites)

Would there be any point in merging Dummy corporation and Shell (corporation) (and if we do, under which name?)
Also, both of these articles are tagged "article does not cite any references or sources".

Digital Realty Trust - Company Article

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am an employee of the company mentioned in this article.

I believe that the company should have a Wikipedia page based upon its notability, therefore, I am trying to follow all guidelines including those involving conflict of interest, notability and the processes set up for when conflict of interest may be an issue.

The guidelines I am following are outlined here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Business#I_think_my_company_deserves_an_article_on_Wikipedia_but_none_exists._What_can_I_do.3F

I am looking for feedback on the draft article to make certain that it conforms to all policies.

The draft article is located here in one of my user sub pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dlrwebmaster/Digital_Realty_Trust

I'd appreciate your review so that a neutral point of view is truly expressed.

Thanks in advance.
