message: Regarding the Advert tag, please specify which elements you feel are biased. This article has been contributed to by several editors and some issues of balance, citation and appropriate language were addressed early on. It was also nominated for speedy deletion in December 2007, though this was swiftly rejected, as the request came from a user who had previously created a promotional entry for another assistance company (subsequently deleted).

replies: text: It doesn't disqualify you, but as you point out it does make it very difficult for you to be objective, and Wikipedia strongly discourages editors who have a COI from editing directly.  A much better way to do it is for you to post the changes you'd like to see here on the talk page, and then once we reach some level of consensus, let another editor who doesn't have a COI do the actual posting.  (You can look at this as partially for your own personal protection, as in this case the way the page ends up is not 100% in your control and therefore you are less likely to be judged for it by your employer, and also that edits made this way are MUCH MUCH less likely to be reverted by another editor. Many editors, seeing that changes have been made by someone with an apparent COI, will simply revert completely instead of trying to re-edit.)  I am willing to work with you on this, and there will likely be other editors who are also willing to do so.  I am going to be out of town from Aug1-Aug9 camping, so I'll have extremely limited access, but if you'd like to post, section by section, the changes you'd like to see, I will do what I can before I leave.  If no other editor arrives to help while I'm gone, I'll take it back up with you when I get back. valereee (talk) 10:21, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

message: it would be good to get a logo -- we could use one under fair-use guidelines, but all the ones I can find seem to have a watermark except for a few that are location specific, and I assume you'd prefer to have the corporate logo correct.  Would you want to see if you can upload one?  valereee (talk) 17:54, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi , would there be any issues in adding an awards section, or is that too promotional? Ollieb72 (talk) 13:30, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, it might be okay...why don't you post what you had in mind here and we can take a look? valereee (talk) 13:19, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Well, it seems a little much...can we pare these down to the ones that are the most important and the most relevant to the field?  For instance, Best company to work for probably isn't relevant to the field.  valereee (talk) 12:42, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. How about these? --Ollieb72 (talk) 11:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

text: valereee are you able to help here? Sorry to bug you but you're the only editor I'm in contact with on here. Ollieb72 (talk) 13:16, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

text: Valereee, I'd like it if we could close on this as soon as possible. If I don't hear from you by Friday I'll assume that you (along with anyone else following this discussion) are OK with these changes and I will edit directly. Ollieb72 (talk) 12:02, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ollieb72 Sorry, busy time of year IRL.  I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.  valereee (talk) 11:56, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
