Talk:Bromcom

I wish to contest this page being deleted. It is not meant for advertisment purposes. In order to ensure that it wasnt deemed as advertisment I posted it on a practice page for over 4 days, and created a talk page inviting other editors to help advice me if it was ok. I would like any feed back on what i can change so that this article is not deemed as advertisment.


 * Various points. The internal links need to be formed by foobar . The tone needs to remain factual throughout. Further external references are really required. I've done a quick copyedit. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Im not sure how to form the links using foobar.. I am trying to edit the article now to make it as factual as possible, and I am adding more links. Any other feedback would be great! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lt06097 (talk • contribs) 13:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

1999 Referral of Capita SIMS to the OFT
This article's statement that "In 1999 Capita did not cooperate with Bromcoms (sic) request for improved interoperability in order to write back to Capita’s database... The OFT agreed with Bromcom that Capita was obliged to cooperate with Bromcom to provide the necessary interoperability" (italics mine) seems to be at variance with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schools_Information_Management_System which says "Bromcom have referred Capita to the OFT on three occasions. The first complaint in 1999 was not upheld and the OFT in their concluding letter to Bromcom stated “it emerged that the information which you claimed Capita had refused to supply, had never in fact been requested by you”. However, I cannot find the original OFT ruling on-line (a later(2003) ruling is at http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/ca98_case_closures/2003.pdf) Does anyone have a source so that one or the other of these pages can be edited to bring them in line?

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 necessarily 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:

Earlier history of Bromcom
I searched for Bromcom in the hope of being able to find its earlier history, from the early 1980s or before. The claim being made here is that Bromcom was founded in 1986. This is not so, or there was another company called Bromcom, because I'm familiar with the company as a Bromley-based micro company which made high-spec Unix boxes based on the 68000 CPU in the early 1980s. Can anyone clear this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nineteenthly (talk • contribs) 15:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
