[edit] Spam
This page is getting pretty spammy....please keep this encyclopedic, thanks. RxS 06:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How is the following considered Ad content?
"AskMeNow utilizes proprietary technology to offer a natural language based interaction and dynamic content provision platform designed for simple and quick information retrieval. The Company generates revenues through usage fees and one to one contextual mobile advertising sponsorships."
Those were the only sentences added. The rest of my changes were minor revisions in language.
Please allow this edit to remain because it provides a more thorough explanation of AskMeNow's product and business model.
- The product and business model is already clear from the page and this article has been spammed constantly for months (not to mention ask me now spam all over the rest of wikipedia). Please don't use Wikipedia to promote your product, thanks! RxS 23:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Your edits to this article have shown a consistent pattern that is borderline vandalism. AskMeNow is a public corporation that easily falls within the boundaries of Wikipedia's definition of notability Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). I'm sorry if you feel otherwise. There is no description in this article about how AskMeNow's service works nor any description of AskMeNow's business model. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Whatfor999 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC).

- I'll leave the vandalism comment aside. Notice I haven't argued that it doesn't fall inside definition of notability, so pointing that out doesn't speak my problems with your edits. Looking over your activity here, you seem to have a single purpose, that is to promote ask me now...I'd direct your attention to WP:ADVERT. Remember, we're not here to help you promote your product. I'm sorry if that seems unfair but it's a constant battle we fight here. I'll ask that you tone down the promotional tone of the article yourself, if not I'll edit it down to what's generally expected from our articles and/or tag it with advert to draw more eyeballs to the problem here. Thanks. RxS 04:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

This article reads as little more than advertising the companies service. I would propose that it be heavily edited or even removed entirely.
- I disagree. It seems pretty standard for any public corporation offering a tech service.
