Conflict of interest
Your edits to Molex connector appear remove all mention of connectors not manufactured by Molex Incorporated. You also added complete proper names and trademark notations to the connectors mentioned. The Manual of Style discourages use of the ™ and ® symbols.

The article is a about generic nylon pin and socket connectors. Molex's own website mentions that this type of connector is generally known as a "Molex Connector".

"1960 – Nylon plugs and receptacles define Molex as an innovator, interconnecting color televisions and other applications. This Molex invention becomes so prevalent that the term 'Molex Connector' becomes a generic name for nylon plugs and receptacles."

Your editing style and your user name suggest you are employed by Molex Incorporated. These edits appear to be a conflict of interest. Oni Lukos and  Plugwash were correct to revert your changes. -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 04:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Your edits on Molex read like a corporate press release. You have only edited two articles Molex connector and Molex.

This edit from IP 63.87.3.6 matches this one. Whois show the IP is registered to Molex

It appears this is single purpose account by someone related to Molex Incorporated. -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 04:25, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
