Talk:Base Design

Untitled

Hello!

There are quite a few places that Base has been mentioned that perhaps should be mentioned in this Wikipedia article, but I am worried about having a conflict of interest. Often Base is mentioned as either as Base or Base Design, however they are the same company! I feel that this is affecting the facts that could go on Wikipedia and are very relevant and important to know about this company. I've provided the information below, can somebody see if they should and in what form they be put in? Also, there is an abundance of history that I thought could be used; I've found some references and put it in the Wikipedia formating. Can perhaps this information be used to help expand the leads section?

Thanks for any and all help!
