I'm a bit curious why this page is marked as a potential advertisement while the Wikipedia page for, say, Bartleby.com is not.
Econlib.org's history is very similar to Bartleby.com's, only with an explicit emphasis on great classics of economics. Like Bartleby.com, it branched out to include a widely-used reference encyclopedia. It also branched out to include other media, such as podcasts with renowned economists, including Nobel Prize winners.
What about this entry has singled it out for looking like an advertisement? Why are the Wikipedia articles for, say, Amazon.com and Project Gutenberg not also labeled as advertisements? Why not Wikipedia's Democrat and Chronicle page--a small newspaper in Rochester, NY whose page looks more like advertising than the Econlib page? Why not the Economic Policy Institute page?
Is it a question of writing style?
The Econlib article passes all the criteria set out in Wikipedia's guidelines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOT#SOAPBOX. It is written objectively and unbiasedly. Every sentence is third-party verifiable. It is not about a small group or garage-based company. The outside links are directly relevant and limited, analogous to those for the Wikipedia entries for corporations such as Amazon.com and Bartleby.com.
Marking it as potential advertising seems arbitrary.
