New editor[edit]

I am a new editor and wanted to expand on the current TurboIMAGE article. I am still figuring out all the reference fields so that I can add those. Tdogolden (talk) 17:24, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tdogolden: Keep in mind to follow Wikipedia's guidelines, particularly WP:NPOV and WP:V. Do not say stuff like "IMAGE is the primary reason that the HP3000 was a success" without properly attributing and citing it to a reliable source. Opinions and judgments like "It is a reliable, simple, fast database" have no place, keep it factual. -- intgr [talk] 15:08, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Intgr: Agreed. Both references you mentioned were from the original authors and I was uncomfortable modifying existing text. I will correct if they do not after adding my citations. I had not come across WP:NPOV and WP:V. Many thanks for mentioning. Tdogolden (talk) 01:47, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tdogolden: Oh sorry, I read the diffs wrong and thought you had added that text. -- intgr [talk] 09:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing WP:BUSINESS over the weekend, I need to disclose that I am employed at DISC which I mentioned in the article. Per the guidelines, I requested members of the HP3000L discussion group to review the article and provide an independent POV and no one had specific comments. I also requested if any were Wikipedia authors to please post in this talk page. I did receive lots of suggestions to enhance the article. Still looking for a guideline on the Talk indentation. Apologies if not doing correctly. Tdogolden (talk) 23:43, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's no big deal if you do indentation/threading wrong, but see WP:THREAD. Note that soliciting input from message boards often isn't very productive because a specialist community often takes things for granted that are hard to pin down to a qualifying reliable source. Wikipedia also has a somewhat different understanding of what source qualifies as "reliable". -- intgr [talk] 13:31, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
