Hi Dbmays. The above article was deleted because it was a straight cut-and-paste job from this website. This is, of course, against the law (see Wikipedia's page on copyrights). Also, because the article was a straight copy from a website, it read like an advertisement. Since Wikipedia is operated by a not-for-profit trust, staffed by volunteers and funded by donation, we take a dim view of unpaid-for advertising appearing on our advert-free pages. Partially this is because such advertising is just theft from a charity, but also because it affects peoples' perceptions of what we are for.
As for your note about the rival company, yes, that article isn't very good and probably needs looking at. However, we don't allow articles in just because other articles exist. I hope this helps. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 10:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
