[edit] Organic, Inc.

I saw your entry at articles for creation, and your note to the declining editor. First, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is much deeper than many new editors realize, so I'd like to draw your attention to a number of helpful pages that may assist you. First, the conflict of interest guideline, which discourages editors from creating or editing articles about themselves, their company, product, family or friends, as they would be unable to edit them neutrally. Neutrality is one of the core pillars of Wikipedia, and is difficult to do when one is closely associated with the subject. If your company has been published by a number of reliable, third-party sources that can verify its importance, then you could create another submission, using as neutral a tone as possible, while striving to refrain from sounding like an advertisement. When referring to sources, refer to the guideline above, as well as the external links guideline, which generally discourages editors from adding alternate forms, such as .pdf files, as they require an external application to verify. While one .pdf file among many is not unreasonable, the majority of your references given were .pdf files, and I'd suggest you find alternate forms of reliable sources. Some other pages that may be of assistance to you are: Citing sources, Manual of style, Layout guide, First article, and Article development. Finally, the Help desk is always manned if you have any questions. I hope you find this information helpful, Cheers! Ariel♥Gold 17:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
