Well, there's a natural reaction to anything that looks like corporate
advertising, but I wouldn't call it a "bias against corporations".
I don't see anything inherently wrong with MyWikiBiz, esp. since they
are pretty open about what they're doing. But I also don't think
Wikipedia's mission is served by cluttering up the place with articles
on every small consulting firm in the US. This corporation has only 26
employees and the only citations are a local business journal. Is
this really a significant enough company to make it into an
encyclopedia?
