Hello, I'm Excirial. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Zebra Technologies seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 19:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Zebra Technologies
My edits to the Zebra Technologies page were not accepted. I am not an employee of Zebra. I am trying to update the current information with more accurate descriptions of the company, what it manufactures, the corporate timeline, etc. All of the information is from other sources and can be linked directly to press releases and public documents. No information that I am providing is my own opinion. I was going to format the citations later, but I can go in and add in the direct citations now in order to keep editing these changes.

Thanks for your time.


 * The formatting of the citations themselves is not a problem - the problem mostly lies in the sources that have been used for the citations themselves. Press releases and other documents released by the company itself (In other words: primary sources) should rarely be used as a first source of citations when writing about a company as these documents tend to be favorably biased.


 * Due to this there are two problems with the added content. The first issue is that the added content has a promotional tone to it. For example: "global leader in manufacturing technology solutions that give a virtual voice to an organization's assets, people and transactions, enabling companies to track and analyze business operations" and "Zebra offers an extensive portfolio" are examples of promotional content. This leads me to the second issue - the mentioned lines and others seem to have been copied verbatim from their sources / other pages around the internet. There seem to be some minor changes here and there but the end result is still to closely paraphrased to the original which raises Copyright concerns.


 * Updating the article is a-ok - just keep in mind that content cannot be copied literally from external sources, nor should it have a promotional tone when considered in part or as a whole. Kind regards, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 20:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
