I deleted some content that was basically a press release or advertizing material, e.g. a claim that a particular company had especial merit and an email address for it. Surely whatever encyclopedic material was in that section can be re-added in an appropriate way. rewinn 22:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this article is not only an ADVERT ("native dbase support through a proprietary (but very fast!) driver..."), but is also a link farm, to increase the page rank of their own website. This page, because it belongs to wikipedia, has a larger page rank than it SHOULD have (because it doesn't have enough links in to earn a page rank of 5!!!), and as a result of this page linking to their website so many times, their website has a page rank of 4 (which is fairly high). Had this page not linked to their page more than once, their rank would only be a 3, or less. Had this page not been on wikipedia, the same holds true. (p.s.: i'm new, so i'm not even sure i am creating a comment correctly). Ionisis (talk) 22:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The citation of Joe's forum post is a good reference for a brief history of Miva. Not sure why is shouldn't be considered legitimate?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on MIVA Script. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081115235809/https://www.mivamerchant.com/company/press/release.mv?Release_ID=95 to http://www.mivamerchant.com/company/press/release.mv?Release_ID=95
