I copyedited the Lead per your note at the GAN Talk page. I also double-checked the citations and added some missing parameters like accessdates, publishers, and fixed some Wikilinks issues; fixed some other grammar and copyediting issues as well, like double periods, extra spaces, etc.
This sentence is sort of bothering me "WhitePages has the largest database of contact information of Americans.[18]" It sounds awkward, but not sure how to fix it.

OK, so you've done several fixes around here. Here is the "official" review.
GA review – see
WP:WIAGA for criteria
Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality, no copyvios, spelling and grammar:
Thanks! I did a quick Google News search to see if the article was still up-to-date and came across
this: "Just a few weeks ago, WhitePages turned a huge page in the company’s history when it bought out its venture capital investors, paying $80 million to buy back shares from Technology Crossover Ventures and Providence Equity." (I'll see if I can find a better source) and
this. Seems a lot has happened in the last two months while it was pending a GA review. I'll take a look and maybe use a Request Edit to propose some additions.
