A user below commented that "This Article should be renamed to Pictometry International. Pictometry is a GIS imaging teqnuic whitch should be described separat [sic]".
I am in full agreement with this position. In fact, I came in and re-wrote the article to discuss the technology, rather than the company, but it was reverted back to this by wikipedia. If wikipedia could either change the name of this article to Pictometry International Corp. or allow users to write about the technology in this article and create a new article for the company, that would be wonderful. Does anyone know how I can go about asking wikipedia to make these changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.186.66 ( talk) 14:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Daniel,
I am in fact an employee at Pictometry International Corp. I certainly understand that employees should be limited on how they can interact with their company's page in order to avoid bias. However, I believe that the edit I am proposing is not only appropriate, but necessary to accurately represent the company. If you could simply change the title of the article to the actual company name, that would be wonderful. I don't think it's unreasonable or slanted to ask for the company's article to have the correct company name. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to edit the page to reflect this. Would it be possible to change the article's title to "Pictometry International Corp."?
Also, I appreciate your offer of adding a section to the article regarding Pictometry's technology until notability can be established. If you could do that as well, I would be very grateful. Please keep me informed as to how I can help rectify the situation with the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.186.66 ( talk) 20:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Why does no one say HOW these pictures are taken? "Areial" - does it mean by airplane or helicopter? Or by satelite? This is really important, lots of people would like to know how these awesome images are produced like this!? -- KpoT ( talk) 17:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Pursuant to VRTS ticket # 2011070510010884 — I have moved this page from "Picometry" to "Picometry International", a better descriptive term to indicate to the reader that the article is about a company, as opposed to simply a concept. Cheers, — Cirt ( talk) 17:47, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
If anybody is interested helping me/us at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Pictometry then improve both articles or merge them together. mabdul 20:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
