Shark Steam Mop
[edit]I have created a page on the shark steam mop. I am looking for feedback as to why it is or is not worthy of wikipedia consideration. Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Product
[edit]The Shark Steam Mop is a home floor care product heavily marketed as an infomercial on television and the internet The makers of the Shark Steam Mop claim that it allows you to avoid the use of harsh chemicals and that it will allow your floors to dry quickly. It also claims to be much better than a traditional mop [1]
The efficacy of the Shark Steam Mop is widely contested online. Common complaints include the steam mop's short range of motion, steam leaks and the fact that the dirt streaks left behind by the mop have to be wiped up afterwards. [2] Other reviews make notice of the steam mop's small reservoir, which requires refilling more than once to clean a large area. [3]
History
[edit]The Shark Steam Mop infomercial first aired in 2007 under the leadership of Euro-Pro Operating LLC in Newton, MA. [4].

Comment: I am sure this has received comments before. You need to find 2 independent references where others have written about it without being paid by the company. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:49, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Excel Integration
[edit]The pervasive use o Microsoft Excel in business has created a necessity for the software vendors of the world to consider the addition of a flexible and easy to use Excel Integration utility. It is arguable that the term "Excel Integration" has taken on a technical connotation that stands on it's own in the dictionary of modern IT language.
- Comment: This sort of sounds vaguely promotional. As if you were about to introduce a service or product. What you should do is find a couple of references of other people who have used this term to justify that this is not WP:original research. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
