Balanced discussion is good, but can you cite where the concern came from?
Alex: Done

Can you cite the year and source for the 61 Mil in sales?
Alex: As the figure is for the parent company and I have been unable to find financial data that is seperate from the parent organization, I have removed that figure.

founder(s)?
Alex: No data, unfortunately :(

Please name citations (references)
Alex: Done

That's great, thanks Ray

other

should we be linking to the sites in the title as is done here? Andrew

I think it's ok, but not necessary since a link to the site should be in the company infobox Ray

also, a recent news section seems like it will date the site Andrew

Agree, if we have news it should be the highlights and important stuff, not just something that's just "recent" Ray

-Year and source can be provided, though they are year and source for the parent company, actually. It seems that for all practical purposes Afternic functions financially as a mere figurehead for the parent company, as I was able to access ABSOLUTELY no financial or logistical information about Afternic despite hours of searching, though such information about the parent company is available in a single search.

-: ah, the number seemed very high and that's why I asked the question and now I understand.  Is the parent company NameMedia?  If so, the revenue number should be on their page and not on the Afternic page.
-Similarly, I was able to find absolutely no information about when the company Afternic was originally founded, and by whom, again despite intensive searching. It was in the course of this searching that I unearthed virtually the whole history of the company, including details of subsequent sales, but not the founder, founding or information thereof.

-: ok, no worries if we can't find the original founder(s)

-I would gladly have included the information on these two points, but I really could find absolutely nothing here.

-As a matter of fact, it's precisely because there was no information that I could find here that I altered the company info box, so that it should not look too empty. Don't worry, I understand that that is common to all the articles, and I won't touch it lightly, and probably won't alter it again. I was also careful to alter it in a way that would not affect any other article on the site.
-Naming the citations and references is not a problem at all, of course. I'll do that.
