Reference problems

A large number of the "sources" in this article amount to WP:REFSPAM for the organization's own website, treating this article as a portal. The assertion they are being used to support is that "MalwareMustDie is also known for their effort in their findings or original analysis for" a number of things. Their reports on those things, however, do not support the contention that they are known for what they've written. So all those citations should be removed.

Then, I think there's a problem with the sentence that begins "Several important internet threat that was firstly announced by MalwareMustDie are ...." None of the sources that I looked at supports the contention that MalwareMustDie was the first to announce the threats in question. The solution there may be just to reword the beginning of that sentence.

I decided to post about this here before taking action to see if anyone else had any thoughts about the sourcing. Largoplazo (talk) 11:25, 16 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's my first english article and I am not used to it yet, the thing is this team actually found and disclosed the threat firstly in their blog, like happened in bashlite, then, mirai or luabot, nyadrop, new aidra, several chinese linux malware and previous stuff too, then after that the threat became recognized and boom and gets on news, to then many other opinions and etc comments gets in to the news reference article, this is why their not written much about this team was actually found it, yet infosec people know these guys did the work as per stated, people who are following them knows, including myself.

I think, they're not security industry, just an NPO of people who cares to clean the bad stuff. So I don't think they have much effort for publication or PR etc to make proper news about them self, the IT media journalists knew their work why they put this team as mentions, along with several vulnerabilities they found, I don't think media will write about someone for free that is not that interesting, specially that much.. And it is mostly not about these ppl, but about the problem they discovered.

I was trying to show their blog links beforehand, as proof (it has dates and some comments etc which are nice to be used as reference) and then it was massively deleted by other contributors with the verdict of CIO, that blog is not mere research but analysis I guess, since important cyber defense entity like US Homeland Security daily threat are mentioning them too like 2 or three times, the thing is, they blogged the first research, and that's the truth.

Why we wrote this, is, they helped people, including place we work from malware infection, they did it for free, so made this article to make people see what these experts had done..

I am not sure about my wording, english is not my native, I wrote better in jJapanese in the media (non-wiki) so please bear with the wording I chose that can make misunderstanding, kindly help to correct to be more appropriate as wikipedia entry. And believe me it took me alost an hour to write this talk reply.. So you can imagine how shock when I saw the 4000 words was deleted and so on..

Thank you and hope to make this answer as consideration of improvement. But, if you guys in awesome Wikipedia still think it is bad, I also get really very tired of this, I will delete the whole page and won't look at it again.. But this history of the talk will assure the readers WHY I would delete in the first place. And also this.. will be a loss of our information technology records in Wikipedia too.

Thanks
