Creation statement[edit]

This page has been created by Ian Wild, a WANdisco Employee. Although a COI exists, I've attempted to provide a balanced view of the company which I believe is valuable for Wikipedia users and those researching the distributed computing market.

I have done my best to keep sales collateral out but welcome any feedback or edits where explanations or other details appear unbalanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian wild (talk • contribs)

Thanks for disclosing your affiliation. Per the conflict of interest guideline, people with COI are allowed to edit, but you are expected to follow Wikipedia editing policies and guidelines more strictly than the average editor. Particularly relevant to this article are:

Do not introduce external links all over the article. External links should be reserved to citations and the "external links" section -- not used within article text like wikilinks. For details see external links guideline.
Only introduce verifiable material — facts that are supported by reliable and independent sources. Do not cite the company's website or press releases. I realize this is quite limiting, but it's the only way to keep insiders and outsiders on equal footing
DO NOT delete properly sourced content that criticizes your company or products. This whole section about controversy between Apache and WANdisco disappeared. The edit was made from an anonymous Slovenian IP address, but is suspiciously close to 2 other edits by Ian Wild -- 20 minutes prior to his next edit and 4 hours after his previous edit. Ian has also previously been involved in editing about this issue.

All valid comments that I take on board. I summarised the discussion that could be seen as controversial, rather than deleting it, but I will go back and make sure there's nothing missed. It did form a large proportion of the article which given the length of time since the one incident occurred and the level of detail contained within, seemed disproportionate. Anyway, I really appreciate your measured feedback and will look to work all of it into my future edits. Also apologies for the anonymous commit - I must have got logged out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian wild (talk • contribs)
