Talk:Attributor

Why COI?
This article refers to WP:COI but fails to identify any e.g. WP:NPOV violations... WP:WHYCOI? -- samj in out 18:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is the appearance of a conflict of interest. WP:COI simply states that individuals who are not independent of a company should not add content to articles about that company. Instead, suggestions for additions should be made on the Talk page. --Lexein (talk) 08:22, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

External links August 2011
The links section was tagged as a problem in June 2010, so I've moved all external links (EL) here. Please read WP:EL. EL sections are not repositories of miscellaneous links, nor parking for sources which could be used to support content in the article. Usable links should be used as inline references, and not just parked.

Request for Update from Digimarc
Hello. I work for Digimarc, which is the company that purchased Attributor in 2012. Would it be best to redirect this page to the Digimarc article page now? If so, I have also requested edits to the Digimarc page that discuss the acquisition of Attributor (now Digimarc Guardian) and those changes would need to be made before the redirection takes place.

Otherwise, it looks like this article needs a little love. There are several paragraphs without citations, and the last sentence ends abruptly without punctuation even. Five of those six should probably be removed due to the fact they are without citations and appear to be marketing-related.

It does seem logical to combine this content with the Digimarc page and expand the Products section of the Digimarc page (three main product lines: Digimarc Discover, Digimarc Guardian, Digimarc for Images). The Digimarc Guardian subsection could include a little bit of the Attributor history.

I will monitor this talk page. Please let me know of the best approach for moving forward and I would be happy to provide text within this space to use on the article. However, I also want to avoid a conflict of interest. Thank you! GeminiDrive (talk) 17:12, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with the redirect, and will do that.


 * I realize that "wipes out" some content, although it will be available in the history.


 * Much of the material added was without citation. Given the acquisition of the company, I think the best course is to do the redirect, then continue on the talk page of Digimarc to determine, what, if any of the background of this company deserves to be in the other article.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:59, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
