The section on Private Cloud, as part of the Wikipedia page on Cloud Computing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Private_cloud) appears to clearly be written in a manner to prejudice the reader against private clouds. The language is almost embarrassingly hostile to private clouds:

== Undertaking a private cloud project requires significant engagement to virtualize the business environment, and requires the organization to reevaluate decisions about existing resources. It can improve business, but every step in the project raises security issues that must be addressed to prevent serious vulnerabilities. Self-run data centers[85] are generally capital intensive. They have a significant physical footprint, requiring allocations of space, hardware, and environmental controls. These assets have to be refreshed periodically, resulting in additional capital expenditures. They have attracted criticism because users "still have to buy, build, and manage them" and thus do not benefit from less hands-on management,[86] essentially "[lacking] the economic model that makes cloud computing such an intriguing concept".[87][88] ==

Examples of prejudicial writing: "significant engagement;" "requires" reevaluation; "every step... raises security issues... to prevent serious vulnerabilities;" "capital-intensive" and on and on.

It appears this could have been written by a person or organization intending to promote public clouds. Further, since the entire section is written with this hostile bias, the entire section should be rewritten; a simple edit won't accomplish the fix.

I have no vested interest in this matter whatsoever. It is just so flagrant that it seems to violate Wikipedia's standards of non-advocacy.
