Hi Absolut Dan,
I tried hard to comply with third party, point of view. Everything is externally verifiable.
Why do you think the page reads like an advert?
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can better comply with WikiPedia guidelines?
From the reference you added:
Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example).
Or do you simply think that there's no way the company can qualify for an entry on Wikipedia, no matter what it says? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sjledet ( talk • contribs) 12:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and your politeness in your offer to feel free to remove the advert tag. I think I'll wait until we've reached consensus that it doesn't belong there, as I am not convinced the article is right yet either. Once we both agree it should be gone, then I'll edit it out or you can.
In addition to making some changes, I did find the following reliable sources that I think may help the company qualify under the notabuility guidelines at ( WP:CORP).

Any further assistance or suggestions you (or others) might make is appreciated.
What do you think of it now? Sjledet 03:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for all the help getting started. Even though I'm a newbie at this, I feel like I've already learned a lot. I'm sure I'll expand the entry in the future. Are we in agreement that the advert tag can go now?
I did find some other primary sources such as http://www.pdfzone.com/article2/0,1895,1757767,00.asp but I'm wondering if aactually listing the software products trained on by the company would help or hurt in your opionion? Sjledet 04:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Image:SJL-Logo.gif 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
