still dirty politics in the background. The Desire2Learn article was removed from wikipedia and the company's officers appear to be on the chopping block, also. Perhaps these notables do not care about wikipedia enough to contribute or bother objecting. A simple google search for any of these names will show over 90K hits for d2l inc. and 215K for Mr. Auger. It would seem due to some unknown agenda wikipedia may be left out of this information loop on some of this biographies. Perhaps not being a USA based company has some bearing on this issue. Many other article talks have registered complaints by a multitude of user editors as this becomes apparent in some cases.

articles. At the same time many competing and other company articles exist without any more than a mention they merely exist. Articles do not usually start out with a multitude of facts and statistics and need a chance to grow. It would seem the article for the person mentioned is slated to go on the chopping block, the same way as the Desire2Learn article, eventually, despite being a international player in the emerging eLearning field. Should we move on to Bill Gates and a few others?--

Hi there, I've put back the "multiple issues" template here because I think they are still there. Eg no sources, language/grammar/syntax problems, unencyclopaedic content. I'm not at all unsympathetic - I'm a UK based
Neopagan myself - but there's a lot more to be done here. I'll try and copyedit a

His previous history is unknown and is probably a new player in the

As I have explained, I did not tag the article for deletion. The article is an orphan, and so will be tagged as such. However, having taken a good look at the article I can see why it might be tagged for deletion in the future. If you want an article to be in
Knowledge, you need to familiarize

In the current GoCE drive, do articles with a word count of a multiple of 5000 words (e.g. 10635) count as that many articles of 5000 words? In other words, would a 10635 word article count as two 5000 word articles or just one, and would a 19533 word article count as 3 5000 word articles?
544:. There is no hidden agenda. Many non-U.S. companies which are properly sourced can be found in Knowledge. If you don't want an article deleted, make sure that it complies with the rules, so there is no valid reason for the deletion to take place. Hope this helps. Cheers. ā

Thanks! Haha, you must have a lot of people on your watchlist as I have been methodically going through the
Category for Living Persons. It has taken a lot of time. If I can, I will go through the list of those that are no longer living later in the week.Ā :-) ā
491:. The tagging done is not for the article to be deleted. If the article is an orphan, it will be tagged as such. If the person is so prominent, then surely more can be done in terms of linking him/her. Have they not worked anywhere else besides this company? ā

I'm not quite sure what point you are trying to make. I am going through every article that is a biography of a living person, and trying to cleanup the article and place appropriate tags if necessary. Much of the work is
