Wikipedia

slanted article?

4/21/2008 -- This article appears to be somewhat "chatty" or "markety" with an angle toward selling the product mentioned (Cognos). By comparison, the article on Business Objects, seems more neutral. I don't claim to be an expert on Wikipedia standards, just an industry technologist with an interest in Business Intelligence (BI). Also note that the BI article mentions neither product.

Mr Siryendor, This article is not an advertisement. Please refer to the different references cited in the article. You would clearly understand none are referring advertisement sites. These are all credible references gathered after hard google search and personal research. And by the way, you do not seem to give any single line to prove your point. Tell, which line in the article is "markety" and it can thought of for rewording. The article tells about the product, its component and launch and later even the stiff competition it faces from competitor. It is completely written with neutral point of view. Gives all references, no copyright matter is copy pasted and written exactly as per Wikipedia standard. --gppande «talk» 07:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

4/7/2015 -- Funny thing, I noticed that what had previously been a controversy section had been changed into a performance section, and this article was having a tone of advertise for the competitor - with my limited wiki editing experience I reverted the "Performance" Section to "Controversy" as that seemed like a more encyclopedic description.

Cognos ReportNet

Could someone change the article title from Cognos Reportnet to Cognos ReportNet? I can't figure out how. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdruiter (talk • contribs) 09:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessaryily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 00:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
