"making Wattpad the only ebook reader to support all major mobile phone platforms" that statement seems unlikely, is it on BREW? simple J2ME? Is it on most carrier decks? Is it on WAP?

A more accurate statement would be on all smart phone platforms, and I doubt wattpad is first although I guess it's possible. For awhile there were much fewer smart phone platforms. Perhaps the first to be on all of these smart phone platforms, and then list the platforms? Mathiastck (talk) 03:10, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

noted authors?

By whom? This seems like flagrant self-promotion and then it ends with "Please don't add yourself..." So who decides who goes there? I think the section should be removed entirely since wattpad has no noted authors and a lot of garbage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.68.156 (talk) 08:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wattpad Withdrawl Syndrome (WWS)

Wattpad has became extremely popular with writers and readers, but whenever the server has crashed, the users become devastated and tend to go crazy. Such days happened on April 21, 2011 and April 22, 2011. The users tend to gather on the Wattpad Facebook page and post up comments all day in agony. Wattpad tends to always apologize although it is not their fault. By the time Wattpad is back up, users will have a long list of books to read and people they want to fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.163.106 (talk) 12:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Point of View

Until I restored links to critical stories in the NYT and the Register, the vast majority of sources on this page were to PR sites, including the founder's blog, press releases from an investor, and press releases from Wattpad itself. The Publisher's Weekly article about Geragotelis is a perfectly legitimate story that highlights how one user found Wattpad beneficial, and if there are more links to stories like that, the article will be a more valuable part of Wikipedia. I've flagged some unsupported claims. Dennis G. Jerz (talk) 05:09, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Intro -- biased sources vs no sources

I don't mean to get into an editing war, but the opening paragraph I just restored, that cites 2 PR sources, is a better opening paragraph than the second paragraph, which cites no sources (and which, unless a citatiin appears, shoukd probably be deleted soon). I think the article is better with the section that quotes the founders than without, but feel free to write a better intro, perhaps drawing from the news sources cited later in the article. If you look at the editing history of this entry, you'll see that I have undone the blatant PR work done by somebody who seems to be a Wattpad employee, and I restore negative details that had been removed by that user. At least the entry I restored accurately states that the creators of WWattoad are the ones who define their company that way; it,s more transparent than simply presenting that claim as if it is neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennis G.
