I am trying to understand this neutral point of view issue. Here is copy that I wrote concerning Vision Research:

Vision Research designs and manufactures high-speed digital imaging systems used in applications including defense, automotive, engineering, science, medical research, industrial manufacturing and packaging, sports and entertainment, and digital cinematography for television and movie production.

The Wayne, N.J.-based company prides itself on the sensitivity, high-resolution and image quality produced by its systems, robust software interfaces, and reliability and versatility of its camera family – all which continue to stand as benchmarks for the high-speed digital imaging industry.

Vision Research digital high-speed cameras add a new dimension to the sense of sight, allowing the user to see details of an event when it’s too fast to see, and too important not to™. For additional information regarding Vision Research, please visit www.visionresearch.com.

Please help me understand how this needs to read on Wikipedia.

Thank you,

Randy Feldman


 * I am not an expert on cameras and I have left a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Filmmaking task force to see if anybody can help. The text above reads like an advertisment for Vision Research which is not appropriate as this is an encyclopedia. If your company or camera are notable enough then somebody will create an article on them, which is why I have asked for advice from the filmmaking task force. It is not a good idea for you to create content about companies or products that you have an interest in but it doesnt stop you supplying information to others to create content. Wait and see if anybody with more experience in your area comes along to help. MilborneOne (talk) 18:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
