Hello. This article has been tagged by an unidentified user 2 times now and I'm having a hard time fixing it when they aren't giving me feedback and just adding tags as they please. Can someone help me so that this article fits the wiki world's rules? The article is unbiased, just more of a history and this is what that company does. I have looked at numerous other companies and they are not getting tagged with this-for example - UPS, USPS, DHL, etc. I did this article more as a dictionary entry as wiki stated, not as an advertisement. I don't understand what makes this article an advertisement and every other company out there not? Can a registered wiki editor please advise and help me? Or can the unidentified ip, 71.43.68.185 please join this discussion?

As author of this entry, I have followed the examples on wikipedia.com for companies such as UPS, DHL, FedEx Freight, etc. when creating this entry. The entry is purely encyclopedic in that it describes the facts of the company, Freightquote.com. I am confused why this has been tagged now as a candidate for speedy deletion, spam page, etc when I used the same outline of several other companies. Please advise how I can amend this article so that it can stay on wikipedia. In addition, this is an unbiased entry that has no opinions, just stated facts. Please advise as I am new to starting an entry.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Freightquote RGB 0206.JPG
Image:Freightquote RGB 0206.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] No ad
This article clearly doesn't read as an ad, so I deleted the tag. This is factual information. - I kept the other tag because the references should be worked into the text according to Wikipedia guidelines. Also, additional references can be easily found (Google search: Freightquote.com -site:freightquote.com) and used. --Peter Eisenburger (talk) 18:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
