I..........[edit]
.....have no desire to falsely accuse you. However, you've made no contributions here in over 3 years......and you submit what reads like a press release for a single company. Are you familiar with our COI policy here? Have you been compensated to submit this article? I'm asking questions, I'm not accusing.....you have to respect where I'm coming from.....Wikinews is not a press release aggregator. Can you help me out just a bit?? I want to make a fair decision. --Bddpaux (talk) 22:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well I'm... actually flattered that you thought my submitted piece was like a press release from a company. But to be honest, sadly no, I only wish I were affiliated with them, I'm merely enthusiastic about this kind of stuff (I've been following the news lately for Google glasses for example). And it was because I decided to just scan through Google News to find the three nearest breaking news pieces I could find, one from World (North Korea), one from U.S. (the Colorado piece) and one from Technology. (And while it has been three years since I last visited this site, or any Wikimedia Foundation site in a long time, it's more because I've had more time to think about myself and my goals lately, for example ditching the flashiness in my signature that you see in my archives.)

- And trust me, Wikipedia employs an even stricter COI policy. All the statements in the article are properly cited. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 22:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Then, I'll tell you what: even when viewed from a pure neutrality standpoint, it's pushing it. Just give a fair and honest look at the last 5 sentences of that article. Pure, unmitigated Press release is what that reads like, seriously. You mentioned Google Glass........a dribble or two about that would provide some balance to things. This article just "leans" too much in one direction when we're talking about a product/company. --Bddpaux (talk) 22:30, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

By the way, do you think my first article was entirely non-neutral? TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 22:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well, a quick reading leads me to say 'Yes', however.....interestingly, it wasn't published. This is just giving a quick glance, however. --Bddpaux (talk) 23:47, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Published. Needed a good deal of work. See my review comments, and detailed history of edits during review. --Pi zero (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for the publishing! I appreciate all your hard work getting it up to pressworthy status. I'll be sure to keep your comments in mind when making future articles (and I may have to go back and redo the ones I've written out already). TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 22:22, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
JP Morgan......[edit]
....whatever happens with that article, I love the fact that you wikified turning a blind eye! Nice touch!! --Bddpaux (talk) 23:45, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
