Talk:Neverware

Um, this sure reads more like a press release or corporate promo than it does a Wikipedia article. Perhaps a little less spin and a little more meat?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.225.213.146 (talk) 22:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Help

I appreciate this pages approval and help revising it, but I do have a couple request.

First: The article title has been expanded from "Neverware" to "Neverware (software)". This change is inaccurate, as Neverware is a company which provides a service that includes hardware, software, and support. Can someone please fix that and move the page back to just "Neverware"?

Second: What changes, specifically, can be made to upgrade this article's standing from "starter"? I have made an effort to include as many sources as possible and write objectively based on their content. This article contains sources, content, and a formatting that I believe exceeds to the standards of the example Dirty Laundry (Bitter:Sweet song).

First of all, none of this requires an admin; since admins are rather busy with tasks such as blocking vandal accounts, deleting spam articles or more complicated page moves, it's better not to ask for admin help when every experienced editor can help. Speaking of page moves, the article title has already been fixed by AJCham.

I wouldn't give that much about the "Start" rating; that's somewhat subjective. The article does lack many details on the company that I'd consider highly relevant, such as their revenues or the number of employees. It's hard to tell whether it's a couple of guys in a garage or a multi-million dollar company (or both). The "Awards and recognition" section could also do with some work: It's much less useful to say the company "was featured in X, Y and Z" than to summarize what X, Y and Z had to say about the company - not in a separate section, but integrated into the rest of the article. It's not as if "being written about in The New York Times" is the kind of information our readers will be looking for.

Finally, some minor style issues: References should come after the punctuation, and Wikipedia doesn't use title case, so the "recognition" in "Awards and recognition" should not be capitalized. I fixed that. Huon (talk) 05:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Credibility and balance?

Agreed ... it reads like a promo... from the very first sentence "provides a service" to "an old PC run like new". This is ad copy, not encyclopedic. Another example: "After a successful pilot program"...
IN RE the date errors in the references section: the only acceptable "all-numeric date format" is YYYY-MM-DD. Both characters of MM must be there, EG January is 01, etc. See: Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Citation_style.

It STILL reads like a press release. Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) 22:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Tried to fix this sounding like it was written by the subject. 92.238.50.216 (talk) 20:50, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
