'''Welcome!'''
I have been editing this article for a few days. I ran down through the article and fixed any grammer mistakes I could find. I would appreciate any suggestions on what to do and how I can really improve it further. Thanks a lot. [[User:Mr. Killigan|Mr. Killigan]] 06:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

There are a number of areas to work on, at this point; keep in mind, though, that this is a very high-profile article, so you should be careful to move slowly and carefully to avoid getting entangled in any editorial conflicts here.
== BizLink - Page deletion ==
* <s>The article is, in my opinion, simply too long; we're looking at 72K (~12,000 words) of prose. The "Legacy" section, in particular, is ripe for splitting out into a separate [[Legacy of the Korean War]] article, with a much shorter summary left in the main one.</s>
* <s>"Korean War (1950 – 1953)" should really be something like "Course of the war"; you probably don't want to repeat the article title as a section heading.</s>
* The citations need cleanup; at a minimum, all of the embedded external links should be converted to footnotes. There are also a number of "citation needed" tags floating around. Beyond that, more thorough citation would be appropriate throughout the article; see [[WP:MILHIST#CITE]] for some guidelines.
* <s>The "Depictions" section should be turned into prose, rather than a laundry list of films; see also [[WP:MILHIST#POP]].</s>
* <s>The "Names" section, as it's presently constituted, would work much better as a narrow sidebar; it's of some interest, but I doubt there's enough material to sustain a separate section.</s>
* <s>The "See also" section should be eliminated. If something isn't worth linking from the text, it's generally not worth linking at all. </s>
* <s>The rump "Bibliography" section should be removed as well.</s>
* The "External links" section could use trimming.
Hope that helps! [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<s>cool</s>

Dear Skip,
 
can you explain me please why a page like "BizLink" is deleted (reason CSD
G11 - product/service promotion) and a page like "Borland" or "T-Systems" (for exeample) not? I really don't understand. Both pages can be interpreted as "promotion" for the company products/services. I've thought that wikipedia is a enciclopedia.
 
A friend of mine (the webmaster of BizLink) has tried yesterday to find "BizLink" ... and no information was found. He was not sure if is possible to publish any information about BizLink ... so ... he made a "test" search for "Microsoft", "T-Systems", Borland and so on ... and he found similar "product/service promotion" information published (for example "T-Systems"). In concordance with the "T-Systems" template he made a short description of BizLink. After few minutes, Cholmes75 has deleted the page. His e-mail answer (for the deletion reason) was:
 
"The article was written like a press release, using phrases like "BizLink is a leading provider of business development services" and "BizLink is the right destination for companies seeking capital." Someone else flagged it as a candidate for speedy deletion, and I agreed so I deleted it.
 
As for the T-Systems article, no one had marked it as a promotional article, so that's the main reason it wasn't deleted. After reviewing it, it too seems to fall under the same criteria that the BizLink page did, so I've marked that as a speedy deletion candidate.
 
One last note - when an article on a company is created or heavily edited by someone whose name matches that of the company, that's usually a red flag for someone reviewing the article. The idea being that if your company was truly notable, someone outside it would have written an article.
 
Regards,
Chris"
 
Now i've create a absolut neutral description of BizLink, and you come with the proposal for deletion. I really don't understand (you make also "promotion" for your page on your user page or?). If you want to delete this page ... no problem (i don't think that Bizlink need anay promotion at wikipedia). But if you do this, that please delete all similar cases!!! Be consequent! If this will not be the case, i will have no other possibility as to contact wikipedia responsible, to clear this problem. As normal individuum i can't understand why the "conditions" are not the same for all pages published on this platform.
 
Best Regards,
