I have re-locked this page. Vandalisim of this site must cease.

Page is locked

I have decided to lock this page after I have discovered that there are much information which seems to be done by vandals.

So now we have an article which desperately needs cleaning up/rewriting, has no significant vandalism (at least, not that I could find in the history) and has been locked by someone who can't write grammatically correct sentences or sign their own posts? --Jibjibjib 01:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC) (sorry for sounding like an annoying bastard)[reply]

Phony lock is now removed. Changed template to cleanup/advertisement. Article could use a good rewrite. 24.57.203.238 03:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising in Wikipedia

Is it absolutely necessary to mention that D-Link products are sold at Best Buy? The Apple page doesn't mention that I can find one at my neighbourhood Sobey's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flakeloaf (talk • contribs) 02:30, October 14, 2005 (UTC)

The article feels like an advertisement. I suggest a re-edit —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.243.171.206 (talk • contribs) 12:20, November 27, 2005 (UTC)

I agree fully. I'm putting up a template. --Headcase 17:58, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Any page pertaining to a vendor of just about anything will sound biased in their favour. Maybe an edit is in order but NPOV? Hardly. 24.57.203.238 02:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on vendors do not have to sound biased towards the company. What makes an article sound biased is non-neutral phrasing, which this one has in spades. You can't honestly tell me that "world leader" is written from a neutral point of view.

In fact, bits and pieces of the article appear to have been lifted straight from the dlink website: see [1] and [2]. Those pages weren't copied in their entirety, so I hesitate to call it copyvio. — EagleOne\^Talk 17:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely an advertisement. No doubt about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.54.134.36 (talk • contribs) 19:46, December 2, 2005 (UTC)

Is this article even necessary? Would it possibly be better to delete it until something NPOV can be written instead? --Jibjibjib 03:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree that this article comes acrossed as biased. Phrases such as "world leader" are highly subjective. This sounds a lot more like a leaflet coming out of D-Link headquarters than it does a neutral assesment of a corperation.

I feel that this article should be rephrased to use more objective language (e.g. "world leader in sales of home networking equipment for fiscal 2004" -- perhaps as a footnote.) Even if this isn't a NPOV problem (which I believe it is) it IS a failure to site sources.

I'm going to go ahead and change this to a cleanup rather than NPOV. Seems more fitting. 24.57.203.238 04:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for clarification

The edit made by 203.75.221.6 on Nov 30 05 doesn't quite read right. Could the person responsible for that edit please describe in detail what they intended to say so we could rephrase it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flakeloaf (talk • contribs) 16:07, November 30, 2005 (UTC)
