Removed link to Twitter "parody" account

Hi guys,

I was surprised to see a link to something called "parody" under the link for the company's official web page. When I clicked on it, I was taken to an odd Twitter account with only 14 followers, which is about as non-notable as it gets. It wasn't even that obvious what the link to the subject of the article was. So, I deleted the link.

I know you're meant to assume good faith, but it looks to me like the user of the Twitter account is the one who added it to this article in an attempt to get more people reading his Tweets. It has so few followers that I can't imagine anyone else would have added it. This is surely not the place for that.Señor Service (talk) 18:25, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Local Business!?!?!

Good gravy. This company had a turnover of over 900 million pounds in the last year. What would you consider a decent sized company - Microsoft?

The first draft of the article was written by a new editor who is someone within the company - he made no secret of that. So now why not work on the article and turn it into an encyclopedia article. And next time why not at least drop by the talk page and give some reasons for PROD'ing it. Or how about letting the user who created the article know that it need some work - like I did yesterday. Delete notice removed. Sheesh. Paxse 18:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Fake "open source" tag.

Misys Open Source Solutions have been abusing the "open source" tag since MOSS was formed in 2007.

There is no open source code in Misys Open Source Solutions, not even for kindergarten applications that were specifically manufactured for exploiting the "open source" name.

Misys Open Source Solutions--rigged from the start--has been abusing the "open source" tag for marketing.

MOSS is now using a lot of slimy PR and SEO tactics to associate themselves with "open source."

I have searched for four years and have not found a single line of code from Misys Open Source Solutions. Neither have I found a shred of information about the LICENSE which their *claimed* code was released under.

You are welcome to prove me wrong: Just post a link to the code. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muleofatlantic (talk • contribs) 20:52, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

RE: Removed link to Twitter "parody" account

I'm the one who added the link to the twitter parody account (RamTheSkiver). I don't own the twitter account but came across it and thought it was of interest. Since I don't own the account, I cannot predict how it will evolve.

As for your # of followers line, you should know that the number of followers of a twitter account means nothing. Thousands of followers can be purchased for a few dollars. Also know that unless you are a celebrity or otherwise know, you will never get a large following.

Stephen Hawking (Prof_S_Hawking) has 86,021 followers but Justin Bieber (justinbieber) has 13,693,963 followers. People follow people who they know.

The number of followers means nothing, it is the number people reading the stream. THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO.

Furthermore, if you read the twitter stream, you will realize that the author is not advertising or seeking new followers (no followbacks); just writing down her thoughts. If you read the tweets carefully, you will understand what's up.

P.S. Misys India (misys_india) has thousands of employees but 36 followers on twitter.

Finastra

Since the company is now known as Finastra, shouldn't the article be renamed to Finastra (or a new article with the new name created)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.195.150.36 (talk) 19:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm think a new article should be created, since it was D+H plus Misys who merged together, both pretty large and long established companies. First thing that pops to mind is Square and Enix, who merged into Square Enix in 2002, but both companies still have separate pages. Drkirby (talk) 11:39, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

I was the one who changed the Wikipedia page from Misys to Finastra as a result of the merger. This seems to be a common practice on Wikipedia such as, Tangerine Bank which was formerly known as ING DIRECT Canada (ING DIRECT Canada now redirects to Tangerine Bank).Lynnette Denise (talk) 13:16, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

The CEO has changed to Simon Paris few weeks now. This needs update — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.162.16.16 (talk) 12:56, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Reviewed source links - Further changes required?

Hi there,

I reviewed the source links on the Wiki page, and can someone confirm if the updated links are acceptable? For example, is Finextra an acceptable source? Also, please advise if further revisions need to be made to the Wiki page, or if the template message can be removed. Lynnette Denise (talk) 14:39, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

UDP

I recently placed an {{undisclosed paid}} tag on this page as part of a large tagging run linked to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/VentureKit, which meant I didn't have time to provide deep explanations for each tag. I have since provided a more detailed explanation for the tag elsewhere; please see here. Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk 19:02, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
