User talk:Billportelli

Welcome!

Hello, Billportelli, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 22:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi Bill. Let's keep this on-wiki, for transparency's sake. Your recent edits do improve the article and that's good. What the article needs more of is references to reliable sources. I'm not sure if Softpedia counts as one per WP:RS, but it's better than nothing of course. Those commercial offerings, for instance, are typically not listed; I don't list them in articles I write unless I can verify that with an independent source, for purposes of verification but especially to signal that it is a notable product. So, if I were you, I'd go through the newspaper and magazine articles to look for those reviews. I also think the history section needs to be trimmed, to where there is no unverified content in the article. As for the tags, it would be nice to get rid of them, yes; I'm not comfortable removing them yet. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have made some of the cuts I suggested and left a note in the edit summary and on the article talk page. Drmies (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Drmies - Your changes look good and improve the document - thanks. I will add the citation where requested.  I'll find one from a reputable independent source.  I am also going to improve the product section -, making it neutral and informational and not promotional.  I will be adding a services section where we discuss inner sourcing and Enterprise Cloud Development, as it is a form of softer development that is a notable step forward for industry – again, I’ll make sure it is written with a NPOV.  I am going to try to respond going forward on my Talk page. I may make a mistake or two, so please bear with me as I come up to speed on how to do that.  So far, I've only ben editing the main WIki pages, have not figured out how to communicate on talk.  I will, though…

Application lifecycle management
You added TeamForge to the list, but it doesn't have an article and so I removed it. If it's notable, if it has has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, then create an article for it. Once the article has been created, then list it there. Walter Görlitz (talk) 12:14, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
