Hello, I'm Fettlemap. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rancho Santa Margarita, California, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.   Fettlemap (talk) 19:11, 30 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I made those changes and the section had been fine for some time, however in looking at the page now, the entire "Controversies" section is gone and I see nothing in the history about its removal. How do we bring that back? Smga3000 (talk) 17:11, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Graph database, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Laser brain  (talk)  09:54, 3 September 2020 (UTC) What you are asking for doesn't make sense in the context of the page, it is a reference grid for graph databases, not something specific to Dgraph. They appear on this comparative analysis https://www.g2.com/products/neo4j/competitors/alternatives They are founded by an ex-google employee in 2016 and have raised $14.5 million in funding https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/dgraph and we're featured in a tutorial on Hackernoon recently https://hackernoon.com/graph-databases-graphql-and-dgraph-tutorial-uz1i3u49 https://hackernoon.com/graph-databases-graphql-and-dgraph-tutorial-uz1i3u49 There is other news as well, but I don't see how that applies to the change I'm making. I've been doing minor Wikipedia edits for a decade and the rules seem to keep changing every time I go to do something. Smga3000 (talk) 14:25, 3 September 2020 (UTC)


 * There have always been rules about notability. Please see Notability (organizations and companies). You have also revealed your conflict of interest here, and such editing is not allowed. Do not re-add it. -- Laser brain  (talk)  14:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I do not have a conflict of interest, I don't work for the company, I wrote an article on the tech months ago because I found it interesting, I write lots of those kinds of articles, it is not a compensated article, and because of my interest, I noticed the lack of support on Wikipedia. There are 8 other entries on that grid that do not have a source, so I do not understand your odd insistence on refusing to allow the information to be made available. There is nothing biased about what I put, it's a simple entry of fact of another choice of graph databases. Would one of those links I mentioned qualify as a citation in your opinion? Why do you not have the same requirement for AllegroGraph, ArangoDB, InfiniteGraph, MarkLogic, Oracle, OrientDB, Sparksee and TerminusDB - I'm not understanding this arbitrary editing guideline.


 * The others you mention have their own articles and they've established notability through independent journalism in those places. Your links do not qualify as proof of notability. Please read the link I provided. You need multiple independent sources writing about the product and indicating its notability. If you have any professional relationship with the company (which you indicated by writing "we're featured") you should not be writing about the topic here. -- Laser brain  (talk)  15:57, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I do not have a professional relationship with the company, I don't know what quote you are pulling, but I always use a plural when I refer to articles I've published as I'm promoting my own company and expertise and the team that work for me, tI have over 400 published articles going back to the '80s. The only relationship I have with Dgraph was asking some questions about the tech so I could finish my article. I gave you two other links, and here are a slew more. What would satisfy your specific need for citation?

 * Yes (discarding those that are press releases)—so in this case I'd start by writing a stub article here on the software itself using a selection of those as references, and then listing/linking it in the main Graph database article. The threshold for inclusion there seems to be that the product is notable enough to already have its own article. -- Laser brain  (talk)  09:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
