Hi there. It would appear that you are adding content to the article Game controller in a manner that is consistent with advertising. This is not permitted and all content Wikipedia must be neutral in tone and not favour any particular position. If you wish to add said content to the article please feel free to do so as long as it is informative and does not promote your product (presumably it is yours, judging by your name). For example, the "Game controller" article is designed to show different TYPES of controllers, not the controllers themselves. In that article you may add a description of exoskeleton type controllers, and even mention the specific one you added, but should not give info specifically about the controller mentioned beyond using it as an example etc.  Alphathon TM ( talk ) 22:29, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The main problem is that it is talking about a specific product rather than the TYPE of product. If you look at the other sections you should see that they talk about the form-factor and uses rather than only specific devices. For example:
 * "A trackball is basically an upside-down mouse that is manipulated with the palm of one's hand. It has the advantage of not requiring a lot of desktop space, and that it is as fast as one can roll the ball on it. This is faster than one can move a mouse due to space not being an issue.


 * Notable uses of a Trackball as a gaming controller would be games such as Centipede, Marble Madness, Golden Tee and Sonic Arcade."


 * The first section deals with a a trackball is, while the second simply lists some examples. What you added was essentially about the specific peripheral rather than the form factor, functionality etc. I see that you have now re-added the section but significantly re-worded it. It isn't perfect but it's certainly neutral enough and fits with the theme of the article. Bear in mind that if you want to add an article about the specific peripheral you certainly can, but it is likely to be quickly deleted on notability grounds and if you were to do so it would have to be from a completely neutral point of view.

 * P.S. I have moved it down into the "other controllers" section since they are not widely utilised (articles such as these place the sections with the most interest and notability, that is those which are most widespread/influential, at the top).  Alphathon TM ( talk ) 00:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
