Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

The usual procedure is to attempt modification of an advertising-like article rather than just throwing around tags. --Pleasantville (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-trust case

Is there a reliable source for the outcome of this case? Deltahedron (talk) 18:50, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of litigation section?

I disagree with Snakepliskin13's comments that this doesn't seem to be standard on Wikipedia. Here are a few I could find (there are probably more):

Maybe there is a conflict of interest here, given that Snakepliskin13 is an employee of The MathWorks, in that (s)he doesn't want to paint a bad picture of his/her employer? This article on Wikipediocracy discuss this conflict of interest, and others related, in more depth.
