[edit] Copyright violation

I have reverted the edits by 149.79.65.168 as it mainly consisted of a copyright violation. Further, press releases are generally not considered to be reliable sources unless we can verify their content through independent sources. They're intended as free advertising for the company in question, and should not be used as a primary citation. -- Kesh 17:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion suggestions

This looks like a pretty good start for this article. I've removed a bit of text that reads like advertising, and tagged a few areas that need improvement. Mainly, to make this more encyclopedic, a section on the company's foundation & history prior to the fire would be of use to readers. Something to show it had some notability outside the fire and its owner's actions would help cement its notability. Also, it could use some citations about the fire itself, and the subsequent changing-of-hands to the new company. -- Kesh 17:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, I've noticed that there are no independent citations for this article. Really need those to satisfy WP:V and WP:N. We can't just cite the company home page, as it's no more reliable than a press release. -- Kesh 17:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
