Hello, I'm Excirial. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to ICAD Inc. seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to ICAD Inc.. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 17:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to ICAD Inc. with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Rldbytwins2. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article ICAD Inc., you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

iCAD Med

I recently added additional information on the overview of iCAD Med. The information I added to the Wikipedia page is a description of the products offered by iCAD. This information is available and verifiable on the company website, investor summaries, and annual report. I do not understand how this information could be biased. If it is a matter of removing "industry leading" to remain neutral please let me know and I am happy to do so. In order to provide readers a fundamental understanding of the company. I think it would be important to expand on the products offered by iCAD. Describing the products offered by iCAD should not be considered biased, they are simply the products offered by iCAD. Please review the proposed change below without the "industry leading" and let me know if this is acceptable.

iCAD is a provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapies for the early identification and treatment of common cancers. iCAD offers a comprehensive range of high-performance, upgradeable CAD solutions for mammography and advanced image analysis and workflow solutions for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, for breast and prostate cancers and Computed Tomography for colorectal cancer. iCAD’s Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System®, offers radiation treatment for early-stage breast cancer that can be administered in the form of intraoperative radiation therapy or accelerated partial breast irradiation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rldbytwins2 (talk • contribs) 18:44, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

The text as written would fit quite well in a sales brochure or another commercial document released by iCAD Med - in fact i was not surprised at all when i discovered the section was closely paraphrased \ copied from the companies own website. Simply put this section as written is by no means a neutral representation of the company. Aside from the "industry leading" part there are multiple other peacock words and promotional markers throughout the text.

Based on the added content i am fairly certain you are an employee of iCAD or someone otherwise closely related to the subject of the article. If this is the case you have a so called conflict of interest and you should not be editing the article to start with. I see another editor another editor already left a longer explanation on this matter on your talk page so to prevent needless repetition i won't be parroting what he already said. That said i strongly advice reading the message he left; especially the FAQ for organizations part. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 19:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

cautious word of encouragement

Your efforts to add more substance to the article I appreciate. I do though also see the reasons your first efforts were edited out. I didn't see in a skim of the above a mention of the need, also, for footnotes. Company material if identified as such and informational not promotional in tenor and via footnote can be used. I'll try to come back to this but meantime do encourage your efforts. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 15:30, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
