Talk:Askalo
There is no equivalent article at Wikipedia in German, which is surprising for a Germany-based company. Most of the so-called references are blogs... -- Technopat ( talk) 02:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I object to deletion.
1. There was an equivalent article in German up until Friday, January 22, but it was deleted due to the claim that there was not enough references. This case with the English article is different as there has been much news coverage of askalo, primarily in blogs, and every section of this article is referenced, and criticism is included (why would a promotional article include criticism of itself? please explain.).
2. I reject the notion that grounds for deletion are that "Most of the so-called references are blogs." These are news blogs. News blogs are increasingly joining major corporate-backed news media as reliable sources for news, even more so in the technology industry. The majority of tech industry news, specifically internet tech news is presented in blogs. Therefore, I find little validity in assertions that these blog references are not notable, and request that more explanation be provided as to how you support the argument that such tech news blogs are not notable.

As a gesture of assurance and respect for Wikipedia's high standards of quality and compliance with their rules in article writing, I have added 3 additional recent news references to this article, including an additional criticism. Miztap ( talk) 11:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
I have now also added a "See Also" section linking to Wikipedia articles of other Q&A websites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askalo#See_also Miztap ( talk) 14:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I will be sure to continue to add more references as they come to improve the quality of this article and look to find additional non-blog references to improve the credibility of its sources. Miztap ( talk) 15:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Would this be wrong? I wrote an unbiased article with references. I'm confused: Are you actually thanking me or is this sarcasm? I'm just trying to follow the rules of Wikipedia, so it would be nice if you can clarify your comment and contribute something constructive that can help me continue this article in accordance with Wikipedia standards.
