Citrix Systems
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Rcooley (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, please make use of the Preview function when editing articles. Making many small edits to an artilce in a short timeframe, with no edit summaries, makes it hard to evaluate your edits. &mdash; EagleOne\Talk 16:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. The edits were not intended to be promotional, but the input is appreciated as perception is reality. I follow the company and noticed that many of the references on this article were more than 10 years old. As such, they contained several inaccuracies. For example, less than 5% of Citrix revenue today comes from "thin client" solutions according to several sources, yet that is noted prominently in the article as the primary description of the company. Simply not accurate. The Microsoft history also stops at about 1995. If I have the time to provide more edits later, I will be sure to document them with independent references and make sure it doesn't come off as promotional as the intent is to make the article more accurate and up to date.--DrTechHistory (talk) 20:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm glad to hear that. That article needs work, and many of your edits were perfectly fine (unfortunately your editing style made it extremely difficult to preserve them while reverting the rest), and more citations can only help.  The changes to the introduction and History sections in particular just had a tone and POV to them that would be more appropriate for a Citrix press-release than an encyclopedia.  Also, moving the product list to the top of the article also shows some confusion as to what Wikipedia is all about (History is commonly first for good reason).  I hope these tips will be helpful.

 * Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time. Makes sense. --DrTechHistory (talk) 04:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
