[edit] Copy/Paste?

I've wikify'ed the article, but it seems to me like the page was copy/pasted here, thus the lack of wiki formatting. Someone please verify and fix if necessary. 165.230.46.155 18:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It looks like a press release job to me now - it should be remembered that Wikipedia is not an advertising outlet, and articles need to be neutral. There's some useful information in there, but it's way, way too much of a "Look how great we are!" piece. --Mike 20:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I deleted the article per speedy deletion criteria G11 as a blatant advertising page. A complete rewrite from scratch would be best. Cowman109Talk 01:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
As suggested on my talk page, I restored the article and reverted to the September 14th version to work from there. Cowman109Talk 02:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, a total deletion was a bit much as the page existed beforehand. There was useful information in the addenda which could be used as a source for a less breathlessly advertising-related version, but I'm not sure I have the strength to do that rewrite. --Mike 06:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
