Hi - I have reverted your contributions to this article until they can be backed up by sources. Please see WP:CITE and WP:V for relevant information. If you need any help, please leave a message on my talk page and I'll be glad to help. The version of the article with your contributions can still be accessed here. Thanks -SCEhardT 01:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi - sorry for the slow response. They key here is this: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." (From WP:V)
- So, anyone reading the article should be able to check up on the facts. That means that internal company info, unless it is accessible to the public, wouldn't work. Also, keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are constantly changing documents, so if sources are only cited at the end for a certain version, and then someone makes a change, it quickly becomes unclear which assertions in the article are sourced and which ones are not. It helps to cite sources at a paragraph-by-paragraph level at a minimum. -SCEhardT 16:53, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
