Still reads like an adDGG 06:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? I'm a pro bono developer with OJS (and a Wikipedia contributor), and I don't know any other OSS project that so clearly lists its competitors. If there's something that you think is NPOV-worthy, I'm certain that we would gladly edit it. Our aim is to comprehensively represent the OJS software, not advertise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robotninja99 (talk • contribs) 08:56, 27 January 2007

I suggest the replacement of Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT) for Brazilian Institute for Information in Science and Technology (IBICT), since the article is in English and the later is considerably more meaningful for the non Portuguese speaking readers.

I got a CD in the mail with no information except it was sent from "1300 Argyle Street Regina, SK, S4T 3R9 Canada" and "OJS" written on the CD. Some of the files are missing their extensions, and the ones I can read were not written by someone that is a native English speaker. Not sure what to do with it. --198.85.212.10 (talk) 14:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've warned 68.104.234.146 (talk · contribs) about using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion and notified 108.175.225.19 (talk · contribs) (notified 142.150.195.79 (talk · contribs) too) to avoid WP:Edit warring. Would you please discuss here and reach consensus, otherwise the page can be blocked for further edits. Thanks. fgnievinski (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fgnievinski, you are a fan and follower of PKP and therefore you have bias. You are allowing PKP Services to have advertisement on Open Journal Systems board and blocking us doing the same. You are a hypocrite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.234.146 (talk) 16:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PKP is the organization responsible for Open Journal Systems (OJS) and is therefore a relevant addition to this article. Openjournalsystem.com is one of many of third party OJS hosting services and it's obvious that it's using this page for self promotion. Even the name "Openjournalsystem.com | Leading Third Party Service Provider for OJS" wreaks of advertisement and exploits brand confusion. 108.175.225.19 (talk) 18:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mr.Nievinski(fgnievinski), you stated advertisement is not allowed as a matter of Wikipedia policy. Yet you allow PKP to advertise on the Wikipedia: "OJS hosting service is offered for a fee by PKP|PS (PKP-operated Publishing Services)". That statement is called advertisement. If the advertisement is forbidden on Wikipedia, then that policy should be applied equally to everyone. Here you are discriminating against one company while letting PKP to run their ads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.234.146 (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

68.104.234.146, given that OJS is their software, stating the fact that they also provide hosting of their own software for a fee is suitable for a page about their own software. This is a statement of fact that describes the thing this wiki page is about. 142.150.195.79 (talk) 14:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@68.104.234.146: Please check Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:Outing. I referred you earlier to WP:PROMOTION, which reads: "External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify notable organizations which are the topic of the article". So to deserve a mention in this article, you need multiple reliable independent sources stating that your company is the "Leading Third Party Service Provider for OJS". Alternatively, you may try creating a stand-alone article about your company, Openjournalsystem.com, if you think it meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). fgnievinski (talk) 23:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
