I created the Cornerstone Research page and did not intend it to be an advertisement for the firm. I noticed that many of the company's competitors had brief but informative articles and attepted to add something similar for Cornerstone. I did my best to avoid making normative statements about the firm, and feel I did a reasonably good job of doing so (for the most part, anyway).

I would be happy to alter the page so that it more closely conforms to Wikipedia's standards, although I must ask for additional guidance before attempting that -- are there particular aspects of the article which make it seem like an advertisement? I'd like to expand the article, but doubt that I will have the time to do so for several days; would the addition of more detail make it seem less like an advertisement? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Benski (talk • contribs) 2007-01-11T23:53:28 (UTC)

Please read WP:COMPANY for the relevant guidelines. I don't think this company meets it, but if you disagree, provide verifiable sources to back up the relevant notability claims per WP:COMPANY. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 23:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it has potential. It seems to be a pretty big firm, even ranked by vault.com. If some third-party references were listed, I think this article could work. Benski, which competitors do you mean? -Taco325i 23:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I'll remove the db tags for now, pending expansion of the article with sources. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 23:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great -- thanks! I will take a little time and try to provide better citations for the information in the article. Taco325i, I was thinking of Analysis Group, LECG, and NERA, all three of which compete in the same industry. NERA and LECG are larger (and LECG is public, I think), but Analysis Group is comparable in most ways. The Cornerstone article is similar, although I tried to add a bit more information.
