WIKI is NOT a place for crass advertisement

[edit]

One manufacturer of routing software has posted advertisements for their product. The fact that they have to resort to such crass advertising says ALOT about the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.27.165 (talk) 17:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References?

[edit]

There don't seem to be any references on this page, specifically for the claims of issues in particular route planning products. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohaq (talkcontribs) 15:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm trying to add an external link to the page Route Planning Software. It is really usefull and it is not spam or advertisement. However, I failed and now searates.com is regarded as spam link. How can be this problem resolved? Thanks 93.180.205.47 (talk) 19:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

searates.com was added to the spam blacklist after somebody started adding their link to any page even slightly related to sea shipping. Encyclopaedic articles should remain neutral; this is especially important with generic articles such as this one. If the company is noteworthy, a Wikipedia page may be created for them (and if a Category is added to the page, listed on the relevant Category page), and on their page their website may be externally linked in the Infobox sidebar. However this company page should also be written in an encyclopaedic style, from an impartial standpoint, and should not be written as an advertisement - For example, if a company has won any prolific industry awards, they might be worthy of mention on their Wikipedia page, however the article itself can't refer to the company/their software as "really useful", as this is subjective opinion, and violates the impartial standpoint required.

If you're unsure as to what constitutes good practice when editing Wikipedia articles, I suggest checking out the Five pillars article for a basic overview, and the links on the Wikipedia:Principles page if you want to go into them in greater detail. Rohaq (talk) 18:43, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
