Impartial
Is this really an impartial article? The references to things like "our clients" make it look like someone has just copied and pasted advertising material. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.25.187.235 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 10 April 2006.


 * The material is a copyright violation pasted from the IDC website. I've removed it. --Muchness 08:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to reiterate the first comment about how this article uses improper language such as "our company". This material has been copied straight from the company's website and should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.201.6 (talk) 02:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Removed? It's either never left, or has come back again as of May 15th: "For more than 43 years, IDC has provided strategic insights to help our clients achieve their key business objectives. IDC is a subsidiary of International Data Group, the world's leading ..." Not only is this a copyright violation; it's undiluted PR. THere's certainly no NPV here, and quite possibly a skewing of the facts. Let's fix it, guys. Post a notice at the top of the article, "This article requires cleanup to meet WIkipedia standards...", lest readers think it's an acceptable POV in our eyes. Let's not permit Wikipedia to become home to shills and clacquers. Sethnessatwikipedia (talk) 05:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this the IDC company mentioned (but not hyperlinked to any Wikipedia page) in the Keygen article?Sethnessatwikipedia (talk)
