Totally Unprofessional

"After P2P software and instant messaging, it's internet browsers' turn to allow content sharing." This is totally a personal opinion.

The article should be completely cleaned up. --71.163.74.162 01:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub

Marked as stub. Needs WAY more content. --ALIENDUDE5300 23:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cruft/ad-like-prose

i removed a ton of cruft and ad-like prose (like linking allpeers to its website at every mention of the word 'AllPeers'). trimmed the linkfarm at the end in accordance with WP:EL. also not that wikipedia is not a blog - we don't need the blow by blow for each version featurette. it now reads like an article instead of a product-push.

Screenshot is not a screenshot

Note that the "screenshot" is actually a capture of our website. What's more, it's a page from our private beta that doesn't exist anymore. I'll try to get someone here to deal with it. comment added by 80.95.104.81 ([1] attributed by Widefox 15:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Future Development Section

I noticed the re-added the Future Development Section; I removed it because of WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Until these things are added they should stay out of an article. JoeSmack Talk(p-review!) 22:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

many fixes

Many problems - mostly fixed.... I'm concerned about WP:COI, WP:NPOV

I added back the Firefox TOC - please do not remove - it allows navigation, and is on all Firefox extensions. The problem with layout is fixed. The main problem is the article - it is a stub. It is also an advert, without a single reference. Closed source proprietary is not Free Software - removed. The image was not a screenshot - commented out until a real screenshot is put in.

Question from AllPeers

I'm affiliated with AllPeers. I'd rather leave it to the user community to edit this page as they wish, but I would like to know at least what we would have to do to get the "this is an advertisement" message off the article. What about it makes it read like an ad to you (note that as far as I know no one affiliated with AllPeers has contributed anything substantial to the article)? What kind of references do you want? I will also get someone to put up a proper screenshot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plasticmillion (talkcontribs)

Here we go: [3]. The tone was made to look less like an AllPeers download page and more like an encyclopedic article. I also put in two references and talked more about technology behind the extension. 'Features List' was removed; it doesn't really add much - this shouldn't be a place to laud its accomplishments but a place to bring up notable facts and move on (darknet tech, bittorrent is fine, 'Supports All File Types and Sizes' and 'Personal Buddy Lists' aren't). The wikibooks and commons links were links to an add entry and a screenshot which is already on the article sos they were removed. The firefox template didn't mention AllPeers, so it was removed. I removed the 'reads like an ad' warning template, because I hopefully fixed the tone. JoeSmack Talk 18:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and thank you for abstaining to edit the article as you are affiliated with the project. As per references - no blogs. But, refs from tech news websites are ok, but things like NY Times and the like are best. See WP:RS for more on that stuff. JoeSmack Talk 18:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Joe, looks good. I'll go ahead and add some more references from proper news sources when I get a chance, and I'll have our graphic designer post a screenshot. Hope that's okay.
