You removed an item wiht the comment: "(Removed Dare Obasanjo's comments as he is not neutral and cannot claim to be "an outside observer"; he is employed by Microsoft. Quoting him into the article breaks the NPV.)"

I suggest you also remove all comments made by Brian Jones and Doug Mahugh (also working for Microsoft) and also all comment made Rob Weir of IBM, Sam Hiser of the Linux Foundation and other OSS supporters like groklaw/grokdoc or in fact any other comment made by anyone as I can hardly see any neutral comment in the whole article.

Suggesting that referended items should be removed because the writer is not nautral required nearly all refences to be removed !!! Mayby just leave the refenrece to the Ecma format spec ???? hAl 15:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, Pieterh. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --4th-otaku (talk) 12:50, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * You may still have a conflict of interest, as seen in your edits to Pieter Hintjens in these diffs:
 * Removed section of 'views' that I do not hold and have never expressed in writing.
 * Fixed usage of 0MQ -> ZeroMQ per convention
 * I understand how the Biographies of living persons applies if the "Pieter Hintjens" in those references is not the subject of the article, but for edits I suggest you declare your conflict of interest as per WP:DISCLOSE. I have added the connected contributor template to articles where you have interest. 88.193.129.193 (talk) 11:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
