Source and tone of material added to HPA article
I am concerned about the content recently added to HomePlug Powerline Alliance article. Given the format, writing style, and length, it appears it may have been cut and paste from a marketing document. Because of these concerns I have undone your edits to the article; no information has been lost and it can easily be restored by you or anyone else. Since you are new to Wikipedia I just wanted to make sure you were aware of relevant rules and guidelines:


 * Terms of Use - Information for text contributors to Wikimedia projects
 * Copyright violations - More information on copyrights and how they apply to Wikipedia contributions
 * Conflicts of Interest - If you work for a company or organization with a vested interest in HomePlug you will need to review the information on this page to determine how you can appropriately contribute.
 * Neutral Point of View - The article must retain a neutral point of view and not read like a marketing pamphlet or advertisement.

I apologize for this somewhat bureaucratic welcome, but the Wikipedia community enforces these polices to maintain the quality and neutrality of articles and prevent this valuable resource from becoming a complete free-for-all. If you are the author of all this material and are free from conflicts of interest and wish to reintroduce it into the article, please see the Wikipedia Manual of Style for information on layout and stylistic conventions used on Wikipedia.
