Talk:Gallup Europe

Spam and conflict of interest

The Gallup organization may be a massive and even notable corporation; however:

• This article is written like a low quality advertisement with no independent sources.
• Almost the same text as is present now in this the article, was previously deleted.
• The article does not meet WP format requirements.
• Moreover, there is a conflict of interest because the contributing author (Aurélien Renard) is also the Director of Marketing (see: http://www.gallup-europe.be/about/team.htm) for Gallup Europe

• The article is not an ad, i am in no way saying that we are better than our competitors. Also all of what is written is pure facts and verifiable.
• I made corrections though - please advise on what to write if you again disagree.
• Regarding the WP format, I am not sure what you are talking about, could you please clarify?
• On the conflict of interest, well again I am not saying we are the best, what is written is pure information. In any case, if there is a patent conflict of interest which in the end makes the article misleading to people, could you please help rewriting it or direct me to an independent writer?
