 * ''Wikinews:Is standard press release format acceptable?
 * ''We are a small startup enterprise in the Silicon Valley, and don't have a budget for a commercial press release. We want to help the solar electric community solve a problem of under-performance. After seeing vast number of solar systems under-perform and go un-noticed, we decided to do something about it, by providing a free service to solar electric systems owners and operators. Based on our intellectual property, we offer benchmark values for visitors who would enter some 'vital statistics' about their system. We hope by knowing what their solar system should be producing, and being able to compare it with what they can see from simple displays what their systems are producing, any discrepancy can be noted and brought to the attention of proper party to correct performance issues. Thus the investment dollars of the system owner, as well as incentives contributed by the general utility consumers do not go to waste. This should make a positive impact on global warming.


 * Question, will an article written in standard press release format be acceptable?

The short answer is no, see what Wikinews articles are not. We do not publish press releases as we feel it violates the neutral point of view. Please see the content guide for more information.

That being said, if your company is developing breakthrough technology that could possibly provide grounds for an interview. Interest in alternative energy is very high right now. You can request an interview here. Cheers, --SVTCobra 14:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
