Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Rcooley (talk) 16:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

 * For the official Wikipedia guidelines as to what qualifies as spam, please see Spam, and in this case Notability and Conflict_of_interest.
 * Adding content or links to promote a product you are associated with, will almost always qualify as spam. Every H.264 codec in the world doesn't belong on Wikipedia...  All the other H.264 codecs listed are quite notable, while streaming-machines does not remotely qualify, as you should know from having you article about the company speedily deleted.  And if you look at the previous diff, you'll see streaming-machines wasn't the only codec I removed from the comparison, on some of the same grounds (conflict of interest).
 * Also, do not put comments in user pages. Users should not edit any other user pages, than their own, with very few exceptions.  Keep discussions on talk pages, like this one, and be sure to sign them with ~ ~ ~ ~.  If you post further comments here, I will see them. Rcooley (talk) 12:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ateme was a special case, and a bit complex. I don't think it would be helpful to explain the details, other than the fact that it was a conflict of interest.  I just mentioned it to show that I'm not specifically picking on you.  It would certainly notable enough for inclusion, otherwise.
 * Being the first company from some place specific (like Pakistan) doesn't usually make the company more noteworthy. Particularly in the case of video codecs, where geography doesn't determine who you can buy the product from.
 * Wikipedia just isn't the place to try and popularize your company. You really need to promote yourself and your products with the press and professionals in some other way, to the point that people around the world have heard of you and care to read more.  Only then will your company be considered notable enough for an article in Wikipedia.  That's not just my opinion... I didn't have any involvement in deleting the article you created, so a couple others here must agree with me. Rcooley (talk) 14:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
