Hi. I didn't start this article but I'm the one who wrote most of the material. The Template:COI2 tag seems unfair. I'm not the one accused of a conflict of interest, right? I certainly don't have any relation to the company beyond being a Silicon Valley type who is acquainted with lots of people. But I have no point to prove, I'm just a follower of new tech companies and I thought this one is interesting and ought to have a real article rather than a stub. I researched things, found citations, made it into a factual little mini-article.
As far as I can tell the tag is on because of contributions by User:Manish.shah who, by his name, we can assume to be one of the founders. You can see all his contributions here. As far as I can tell all he did is correct factual errors in my edits regarding dates and funding sources and amounts.
Can't a company owner make simple factual corrections? If not, what do we need to do to get this tag removed and the article properly vetted? We can't have the article forever branded with a claim of POV violation can we? That would be ugly (graphically) and a little bit overkill.
I'm willing to endorse the edits and remove the tag if someone can send me citations to the new facts. I won't endorse them as my work without knowing they're true though. . . Sound good? Pls. forgive if I'm doing this the wrong way, I'm relatively new to Wikipedia. Thx. Wikidemo 00:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- it looks like this all got resolved on Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. I can see why the concern. Both founders have been at work on the article but it looks like their contributions were merely clerical and not POV related, so the conflict of interest tag is removed. Whew!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rapleaf logo.png
Image:Rapleaf logo.png 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
