edit{{help}}Sorry I don't quite know what I'm doing here. There's a big problem with this page because the company doesn't appear to exist in the way this article describes. The external links go to a Swiss company, not a Dutch one. http://www.66.com/route66/index.php?cid=BE-nl&act=5 What am I supposed to do? 80.176.233.6 (talk) 09:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps whoever wrote the article got it wrong - I note that the website seems to go to whichever country you connect from; maybe they incorrectly assumed it was HQ'd in Holland because that was the page they got. I don't know; the article lacks any references to verify the info - so, I removed the mentions of the Dutch HQ.
- The page on 66.com indicates that they are "a privately held company headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland." - but it certainly matches the profile (Geographic Information Systems).
- Hopefully someone will try to locate sources and add to the article; if that is not possible, it could be removed. You could propose a deletion if you wished - see Wikipedia:Deletion process. Chzz ► 10:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- The German article, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_66_(Unternehmen), while slightly less stubby still relies upon this same information. The German version was nominated for deletion 7 February 2009.[1] The company's history says they were founded in 1992 but makes no mention of previous headquarters. There is a Senior Sales Manager for North-West Europe job available at their office in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands. [2] This could be a case of corporate "selective memory" in composing the history and the company was at one time in the Netherlands, or the article is seriously flawed in both languages. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 10:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
