 * and to explain in plain language - Ohnoitsjamie has discretion as to what stays and what goes on his talkpage (as you do on yours, within the site guidelines). He can remove posts made by you, which can be interpreted as his having read them.  You, on the other hand, should leave it up to him to remove or keep your notes on his talkpage.  If you wish to retract something, you should probably request that he remove it or allow you to strike it (tho at this point, I don't think he's going to listen to you).

I am just not seeing the balance in fairness that should be applied to a particular article ... if one or two companies are mentioned, they should all be mentioned. http://www.adobe.com/products/vdp/partners.html That to me is fair and balanced! I would assume that everyone else on this list at Adobe would like to be cited in this article as well....

How is this not a self promotion with links to their home pages....? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectSmile
 * (FYI, instead of bare URLs, use page name ). Links to the home pages are not self promotion because they can be used to find out more about companies. See WP:External links.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:26, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

so Jasper, how come I cannot put DesignMerge in the paragraph of this article that mentions Directsmile and xmpie? [] )
 * (no, don't use the nowki tag, and don't include the full URL, only the page name) Because the article is not about those.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:34, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Jasper, I understand that, but directsmile is relatively new to the market and DesignMerge along with xmpie have been around quite sometime. We are a plug-in for Adobe InDesign, we are listed on Adobe's Website as a partner...Am I really asking too much to be included in this article with them? I feel that someone doing a Google search would find this article and then see only two brands there, directsmile and xmpie...this seems to me that it is then biased and slanted towards these two companies. I think that if you are mentioning these two, then if nothing else mention all of the available VDP applications.
