Thank you very much for your quick response. I want to be sure I understand why the submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Can you please explain more fully? Thank you. Shawna Brandli Sdsbran (talk) 02:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

It was written like a piece for a business magazine and completely promotional in nature. That is not the tone an encyclopedia should take. Do you work for this company? McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 03:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you - that's helpful. Are there paragraphs I could remove to improve - or is it a wash? I do not work for the company. I did at one time, but I'm retired now, and a writer, and they hired me to write it for them. I retired last winter. I truly appreciate your fast response.
