Talk:StatSoft

This seems like an awful lot of self-promotion/company brochureware to me. Others? I am too new at Wikipedia to make a unilateral decision. I wish you'd signed your post... If you have a look at the edit history and talk page for Statistica and Talk:STATISTICA you'll see the long discussion I had with User:EntropyAS over that page. Yes, the Statsoft page still reads a bit (read: LOTS) like a company brochure, but I decided that, as a gesture of good faith, that I'd turn a blind eye to the Statsoft page after the work User:EntropyAS put in. I know there are rules, but I figure that we have a major win already. It's probably instructive to see the edit war in the history for the Statistica to see what you're in for if you just keep editing it. I found that clearly explaining to User:EntropyAS what I saw as the problems led to him/her fixing the page, whereas reverting every day didn't really get anyone anywhere. Ultimately it's up to you if you want to pursue a cleanup of this article. I don't think it's perfect (far from it), but I do acknowledge the effort that the Statsoft/EntopyAS people have put in towards working with WP Johnpf 01:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC) I agree with the unsigned post that this page is self-promotional and of little information value.

Theodoros 87.17.215.55 (talk) 17:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC) I had hoped to read some objective evidence about the qualities of StatSoft, but this is simply a blatant unpaid advertisement.

I hope this is a good starting point for addressing concerns. The two tags that were at the top are gone now, I didn't mean to circumvent any official processes of removing them. Let me know if there's a better way to do what I did (go to a old neutral revision and "Save") Best wishes.
