Hello, I am going to review this article as part of the October GA backlog drive. I should be done within a week. Kimikel (talk) 02:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Eric Schucht: Unfortunately, I am going to quickfail this article. There are numerous instances of copyright violation and close paraphrasing present in the article. According to WP:QF, a good article nomination is eligible for quick failure if it contains copyright violations. This article contains multiple; some are more egregious than others, but it is indisputable that they are indeed violations. Listed below are six examples I found, where chunks of sentences, or entire sentences, are lifted from sources with minimal changes. I recommend that you resubmit this article after finding ways to format that information that is not in violation of the previously linked criteria. Kimikel (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

• "roots were in complex software implementation and financial reporting systems, often for local government agencies. Over time it became an internet service provider offering cloud computing platforms and programs for hosting multiple websites." > directly lifted from here, a source which is not cited in that paragraph
• "CherryRoad Media employs around 500 people and Gulban expects revenue to be around $30 million for 2024" [1] very close paraphrase
• "runs its newspaper operations at a relatively low profit margin / designing, launching and hosting websites" [2]
• "printed most of CherryRoad's Kansas publications as well as numerous other newspapers in the area" close paraphrase [3]
• "local ad and page designers are "a luxury that we can't afford." [4]
• "2020 as part of its acquisition of Minnesota-based Red Wing Publishing Co." [5]
