        I'm flattered that you would take the time to create a Computerhope article on Wikipedia, unfortunately however it's likely it will be removed shortly. Wikipedia considers these types of articles a site promotion and will vote and almost always remove any articles that describe a website. But thanks for spreading the word.  :)

            No, I wouldn't say. :)
            Just trying to show people where they can get true help  :P
            And to make place for CH in the instant of history. I carefully read instruction and they prohibit commercial site promotion. We here do nothing like this.
            At least there's an info and achivements plus link.
            If they accaepted it then it's not spam :)

              I just corrected a slight spelling error. Did anyone notice it?
              Nope. I have taken information from ComputerHope's site and didn't check spelling (ok, I don't know english well, but I know spelling at least ;D).
              Thanks for your contribution. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

                  There was a song about that:

                  "All we are is dust in the wind..."

                  An older song, but a good one. :)

                      Answer by Wikipedia:
                      Thank you for your mail.
                      As Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopaedia, all changes to articles are
                      reviewed by other visitors to the site.  If they disagree with the edit, they
                      sometimes make quite extensive changes.  We recommend that, when this happens,
                      contributors use the article talk page to discuss the changes and to agree the
                      best form for the article.  At the top of each article you will find a
                      "Discussion" link, which leads to the talk page where such issues can be
                      discussed with other editors.

                      In the case of the article you added, those reviewing the work found that it
                      didn't fit the style of Wikipedia articles.  The impression they had was of an
                      advert rather than an encyclopaedia article.  In particular, there were
                      concerns that the article was not balanced and neutral.  One of our most
                      important policies is that articles should be written from a "neutral point of
                      view" (often called "NPOV").  This policy is explained at:
                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view

                      If you want to try again with your text, I would recommend rewriting to try
                      and fit the article to NPOV and to make it sound more like an encyclopaedia
                      article.  Other contributors should be able to help with this.  You may find
                      it best to add text slowly rather than as one large edit.

                      I wish you luck with your edits.

                      Yours sincerely,
                      Lisa Carter

                        Looks like it will stay which is nice. I did a few additional modifications to the site, such as adding an image and a few links. Maybe after things cool down with my work I'll take the time to add some additional 'non-bias' information.

                        If anyone is a Wikipedia wiz I sure would like to know how to change the title of a page too. The title is currently "Computerhope", I think it would be more appropriate if it was "Computer Hope".
