A reply to a message at my talkpage

Well there is no problem with having an article about an company, as long as the company is notable enough. The reason I said the article should be deleted was because it was copied directly from your homepage, and as far as I could see that page was not released under the GLPL. You have to remember that everything you write on wikipedia is released under GLPL, which means that everyone can use the text and not only Wikipedia, and that you CAN'T claim copyright for it. You also have to remember that Wikipedia is written without point of view, i.e. you would probably not be able to copy a company profile directly as they tend to be very one-sided.
But if you can live with these requirements then there shouldn't be a problem with adding the article. Just send me an e-mail at snailwalker __AT__ hotmail __DOT__COM__ or write me here at the talk-page and I'll be happy to help you out!
