Hello. Please stop completely destroying all my edits in Comparison of streaming media systems. You repeatedly reverted all changes and fixes I made there, without saying why. First, when you add a product to a table, you don't do that by reverting all edits made by another editor, by reverting to an outdated revision, with a (intentionally?) misleading edit summary. You do that by adding a product to a table. To the current (not old) revision of the article. Second, do not add a product to a table when it does not belong there. Do not add red links and external links to an article that only includes internal wikilinks to existing articles on Wikipedia. Comparison of streaming media systems only includes existing internal wikilinks to articles on Wikipedia. That is, if the product does not have its own article on Wikipedia, do not add it to these standalone lists. The way you keep reverting all my edits (i.e. alphabetical order, markup fixes, removing red and external links), with deceptive edit summaries, repeatedly adding your product with external links to the top of the table, makes you look like a spammer.&mdash;J.

 * I apologize for the miscommunication here as I am new to editing on Wiki. I did not understand why all my edits kept disappearing within minutes so I tried multiple times to edit the page. This is certainly not spam--I am adding a legitimate product--Red5 Pro--for my company because we are rolling it out now and it is extremely relevant as a streaming media service. Previous to my edit the page had absolutely no sense of order--i.e. it wasn't alphabetical. After I edited and refreshed the page, the streaming services were alphabetical (which was new) and Red5 Pro's specs were removed. They should not be removed, this is a legitimate streaming server and it deserves to be on this list. Furthermore I did not touch any of the other products because that would be immoral. I objectively added Red5 and Red5 Pro but Red5 Pro keeps getting removed. I understand I reverted to a non-alphabetical list so that's my bad but I will continue to edit so Red5 Pro is on the list, but I'll put it in the right order. Again, no malicious intent here, simply trying to add our legitimate product. Also, thank you for letting me know about the external links, I will remove those.


 * You did not understand what I wrote. First, do not add red links to the article (and yes, you added not only your own product, but another red link I removed before). The article only includes links to existing articles, products that are notable enough to have their own article on Wikipedia. Second, you have a conflict of interest. As the guideline says, please refrain from editing articles related to you, your company, your products etc. This includes Comparison of streaming media systems (and preferably Red5 (media server), too). Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. The fact that you are rolling the product now and need to promote it is completely irrelevant on Wikipedia.&mdash;J. M.

In Process of adding a Red5 Pro standalone Wikipedia page to avoid the empty/red link on the streaming media server page
This will be up shortly to avoid the color issue and bring additional credibility to Red5 Pro


 * Again, I would advise you to refrain from creating articles related to your company, to avoid a conflict of interest. It is not strictly required, but strongly recommended. You do not seem to understand the five pillars of Wikipedia yet.&mdash;J. M. (talk) 18:01, 6 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I perfectly understand the "Five Pillars," I am not a cretin. I understand that Wikipedia is not about self promotion--OBJECTIVELY adding product specifications is absolutely not self-promotion. If I said this was the greatest product ever, that would be promoting it. Where in any of the lists on the streaming page do you see a single instance of this? Looking at the history of edits/comments on the page, it seems as if you troll it and have taken down perfectly legitimate product information many times in the past for no reason. Do you get pleasure in doing that? Wikipedia is a place to objectively share information and provide updates to accurately reflect lists, news, etc. By trolling sites to inhibit relevant content, you are essentially stagnating the progress of Wikipedia. Feel free to keep deleting Red5 Pro--I will continue to add it back or have a so-called "uninterested" party enter it.


 * You really do not understand anything. That's also why I strongly advise you to refrain from editing, until you understand the Wikipedia guidelines and policies. It is very obvious from your comments that you do not understand many basic things on Wikipedia.
 * No, I did not remove the entries for no reason. I explained countless times why I removed them. We have guidelines and policies for that here. You just keep ignoring every single explanation.
 * P.S. Threatening with edit warring and incivil behavior is the best way to get blocked from editing, and potentially to get your product blacklisted on Wikipedia.
 * P.P.S. Please sign your post on talk pages.&mdash;J. M. (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Blah blah, empty threats--get a life man. Go out and get some sunlight so I can proceed with my day and make necessary updates. Oh wait, I guess Wikipedia is no longer useful as a credible repository of information, simply a back-end forum of combative trolls.
