Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Canon (company), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. freshacconci talktalk 03:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Information which does not have a reliable, verifiable source cannot be included in Wikipedia. This is not a bias, this is a guiding principle. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
