Hello, I'm Spinningspark. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Thermal management (electronics) because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi - it is as promotional (or not) as the other software packages mentioned in that sentence. So, it should either mention no commercial packages or permit a longer list.
 * No, we are under no obligation to mention every company that makes a particular product. Generally speaking, we will limit lists to companies that are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article.  On the other hand, if you are paid by this company, you are obliged to declare that fact under our Terms of Use. SpinningSpark 23:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Is the issue a mention of company name or product name? Mentioning product alone, as is done for Sigma-product should suffice. There are only a few products on the market specifically for electronics cooling applications. Adding Coolit to this list will pretty much make it exhaustive.


 * Mention of both a company and a product are problematic when it comes from an editor with a conflict of interest. As a COI editor, you should restrict yourself to making suggetions on the article talk page and leave it to established editors to decide whether or not to add it to the aricle.  But before doing any of that, you need to address the issue of paid editing raised in the message below. SpinningSpark 14:22, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, 70.16.106.121. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Thermal management (electronics), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. SpinningSpark 23:58, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
