Overview of the FIX Protocol for Financial Applications link has nothing to do with Financial Information eXchange protocol. It's essentially a marketing promo for some CISCO protocol. Removed as off-topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.212.151 (talk) 18:23, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

owns the specification, while keeping it in the public domain. - This sentense contradicts itself due to the definition of public domain. Thue 09:05, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

B2Bits is a commercial private company, Wikipedia should not be used for such purpose, a list of commercial FIX vendors can be found on www.fixprotocol.org Pompom2309 13:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The list of company depicted at the begining is inaccurate and incomplete. Why choose Putnam and not ABN or any other company. We could state first companies to use FIX or the largest company. Accurate lists are availlable on www.fixprotocol.org. But I have the feeling that any guy coming will add his own company.

Onix is also a commercial organization, so should not appear here as noted in the above comment regarding B2Bits. Camerojo 00:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Camerojo

Thanks Camerojo to help with the clean up. Kaleo has also to go. Pompom2309 16:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the "definitions" for FIXpert and FIXperiment. There is no source for them and they fail the google test. 68.17.18.254 15:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)me

I thought it might be useful to provide a link to the relevant Wikipedia guidelines relating to links to commercial site. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam. In particular, quoting from that page, "Adding external links to an article for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam."

"Perhaps we have reached a mutually acceptable compromise here. If so, it is a good example of how Wikipedia really can work!" I agree completely. FIXtechie 13:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

How about we add who created it? authored it? developed it? The date/time? Which firms were involved ? Rather than include advertisements of firms who use it...cause I think everyone including their mother practically uses FIX nowadays. -Antonio [Goldman Sachs Business Analyst]

Up to FIX.4.4 the first three fields in all FIX messages are The header must contain the... This looks like a sentence fragment followed by the beginning of a new sentence. I don't know what was originally at the tail-end of the sentence fragment, and I'm not qualified to fill in the blanks. --67.106.37.5 (talk) 14:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

XML-based?
I removed the XML-based categorization on this, but then decided to put it back and ask a question instead... This entry categorizes FIX as an XML-based standard. It is my understanding that FIX itself is not, but there is a sub-project "FIXML" that is an XML schema for FIX messages. I would say FIXML is "XML-based" while FIX itself is not since it may be formatted differently. For example, the example message given in this article is not XML-based. Is it worth removing the category here and creating a separate FIXML page that is categorized as XML-based? --198.199.191.223 (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
