== Jimbo ==

I'd love to get along with Jimbo. Unfortunately, all I have ever heard from him after years of tireless work on this site is scorn and subtle threats. Of course, he is a human being, but ordinarily a human being will actually address the points one makes in a discussion&mdash;Jimbo stares right past them and accuses me of not supporting the civility policy, coddling trolls and promoting "wikianarchism", and essentially tells me I'm unwelcome. ] (]) 04:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you give ] and the second paragraph of ] an overview for me (see also this diffs). Am concerned that this issue may need to go to the Ethnic conflicts group - but I would like to prevent it from escalating that far. I asked User:Coren to look at this weeks ago, they have ignored .

Could you also look at this and the source it - looks to me like it has serious ] issues as well as needing to be rephrased. What do think? Am I wrong here?

Hi Jehochman

Dude! I noticed you deleted CyberLink's corporate profile off Misplaced Pages. Surely that doesn't actually count as advertising? For that to be a possibility one would have to delete Adobe or Microsoft too? How can we resolve this?

Thanks

:The problem wasn't notability. The problem was that the entire article was written like an advertisement. Misplaced Pages is not for advertising. It is not the role of our volunteers to rewrite advertising material submitted by corporate agents. If you would like to work on the article, feel free to recreate it, but do not do so if you are affiliated with the company in any way, and do not write like an advertisement. To avoid further deletion, be sure to use ] to reference everything. Don't just link to the corporate website.

Hello, I saw the talk page of ] tagged as CSD G8 as you deleted the article per G11. The article has been around since 2003 and if you review it you shoudl find versions that aren't pure spam. So you may want to reconsider this and rather bring it to AfD. --] (]) 12:11, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

:Thank you for telling me. It seems that all of the prior versions are the same, a product sell sheet. None of them contain any independently verified information or references. It seems that you might like this sent to AfD, so I will do that. ] <sup>]</sup> 12:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
::Well, it started as a one line stub. I now see above thread. Sometimes regular editors with a penchant for detailed facts and completeness produce something similar to what a COI editor would do. And the latter mimic our existing poor artciles with the usual "But my listing is modeled on the similar..." argument. Actually I had this player installed on my previous PC, which prompted me to look into this in the first place and it is rather well known. --] (]) 13:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes, that could be true. However, at least one corporate employee worked on the articles , and I suspect that other accounts may be linked. See ]. We'll get to the bottom of this. Feel free to fix the article. If there are three solid references available, and the product feature list is removed, this might become a reasonable start class article. ] <sup>]</sup> 13:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

== September 20th 2008 ==

Please follow your own guidelines and leave responses on this page instead of spamming up mine. My policy is to always respond on your user page. I have no interest in debating this with you further, although feel free to add fact tags to anything you disagree with and I'll provide references, even though they are not normally needed on talk pages. Please also don't cite WP guidelines, I already read them and citing them is a grave personal insult to my photographic memory. Oh the irony. ] (]) 18:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

: Heh. Your last post was removed. This one is much more useful, so I am happy to respond here. I don't have any editorial disagreement with you about the article ]. If you can add details, references and generally make improvements, I will stand aside and clap. My concerns for that article, and a bunch of others about ] products, was that an official of the company had apparently been spamming Misplaced Pages to promote their products. It is not acceptable for companies to dump commercial content into Misplaced Pages and then expect volunteers to clean up their messes. When they do that, the correct response is ] under criteria G11 "blatant advertising". ] <sup>]</sup> 18:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, seems like it's a done deal anyway. And I'm not going to get in front of the bus for an editor I'm not 100% behind anyway.
