Remote deposit use is growing rapidly. A June 2009 survey by group Independent Community Bankers of America found that 62 percent of banks in the United States currently offered merchant remote deposit, and 78 percent have plans to adopt the technology by 2011.

62 percent + 78 precent = more than 100%............. I think the copy should read : 78 percent of those banks presently not participating in Remote deposit have plans to adopt the technology by 2011

Facebook IPO to main page

History of Facebook is probably hitting the main page tomorrow via WP:ITNC due to the massive coverage of its IPO. I thought I'd post a notice here if anybody wanted to take a look at the article first; I've done my best with the update, but frankly, I didn't even know what an IPO was until 12 hours ago. Smarter heads always appreciated! Khazar2 (talk) 07:01, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Globalization proposal

Hi WikiProject Business members, A few of us are trying to get a WikiProject Globalization up and running. Members of this project would work together to improve the quality of articles on Wikipedia on Globalization, global issues and related topics. If you're interested in globalization, please come by and check out our proposal. We'd appreciate any feedback about our ideas, and of course your support if you were interested in lending it. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 11:37, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

McKinsey & Co

The article on McKinsey & Company is a high-priority, start-class article that's part of Wikiproject Business. I'm helping improve the article with a COI from the Talk page and wanted to invite any other interested editors who may be interested in participating. There is a lot of controversial material that could benefit from having a few editors in the discussion. User:King4057 14:08, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Merge Virtual assistant to Virtual assistance

I consider both these articles too similar and too short to justify being separate. One is the service and the other is the person doing it, but I still think the scope is almost the same. The suggestion has been opposed by the reason that one of the articles has little reliable information or is lacking in notability, but I think these reasons only support merging them in order to accumulate the notability and available information, so I'd appreciate further input in the discussion at: Talk:Virtual_assistance#Merge_Virtual_assistant_to_Virtual_assistance.

Report on the use of self-published sources

The first version of a report on the use of self-published sources is now available, in Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia reliability. Some of the self-published sources listed in the report pertain to this project.

Suggestions on the report itself (a discussion has started here), and help in remedying the use of the self-published items that relate to this project will be appreciated. History2007 (talk) 06:30, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Results (all done):

• 1 false positive

Proposed deletion of Statement of retained earnings

The article Statement of retained earnings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, but this time please no undergraduate textbooks from demonstrated self-publishing houses?

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

• I have replaced the deletion tag with the UNSOURCED template and have commented on the talk page. Pine^✉ 09:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Article Reads Like A PR Campaign

Simplot

I think it's pretty clear that they wrote this article.

"Since the founding of the J. R. Simplot Company, the firm has actively supported community needs, education, youth, and the arts through direct contributions, scholarships, and personal involvement. According to the Idaho Business Review, “the company has established a culture of giving and support” in part by forming a volunteer service committee. This group helps employees get involved in various activities and provides hundreds of hours of volunteer service on behalf of nonprofit organizations. Causes include Terry Reilly Health Services, Ronald McDonald House events, and Special Olympics. Simplot also supports United Way campaigns throughout various communities where the company does business. In 2009, United Way of Treasure Valley awarded Simplot the Spirit of Treasure Valley award, which recognizes individuals and organizations for leadership and commitment to improve lives and strengthen communities through outstanding achievements during United Way’s annual community campaigns. Hungry families in Idaho have benefited often from Simplot’s in-kind donations of food. Most recently, the company donated 35,000 pounds of potatoes to the Idaho Foodbank and the Boise Rescue Mission. The company also provides monetary support for the arts, including Ballet Idaho, Opera Idaho, and Boise Philharmonic."

I don't have time to remedy this, just thought that I would bring it to your attention.
