Talk:Zimbra

message: So is this article about the product Zimbra or about the company Zimbra, Inc.?  The infobox on the page is a Template:Infobox Software type.  If their is consensus about that the company is the focus, I'll change the infobox to the Template:Infobox Company and move discussion of the product down to a section (i.e. their "flagship product")

text: That's what confused me and why I added macOS and Windows as platforms, because I thought the article was on Zimbra Desktop.  I'm sorry about that. - rose64bit 17:45, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

message: When we originally created the wikipedia article for Citadel, it was quickly nominated for deletion because someone felt it read like an advertisement.  The Zimbra article is far more blatantly marketing-driven than that article ever was.  I expect Zimbra to be held to the same standards as everyone else.  If the article is not rewritten from a neutral, encyclopedic POV, I see no reason why it should not be nominated for deletion.  Art Cancro (talk) 18:57, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. Just a quick note to explain some of the edits made here. Editors were linking to zimbra.com multiple times in the same page which is not proper Wikipedia style -- just link the first time, or in the External links section at the bottom (which is what I did). Also, don't add a bunch of links to sub-pages on the zimbra.com site; same reason. People will go to the official site to download -- most people are smart enough to figure that out. :) Remember that Wikipedia can't be a PR page for Zimbra, so avoid placing opinionated promo text in the article. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! Art Cancro (talk) 15:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consolidation of zimbra.com links 

message: In Two versions of Zimbra are available: an open-source version, and a commercially supported version ("Zimbra Network") with closed-source components., the obvious question is, "What's the difference?"  That should be answered if it can be done without sounding like advertorial. --Treekids (talk) 23:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Contrary to what the article says, Outlook and Apple Mail can undoubtedly do a lot without a proprietary connector. (I tagged the offending statement.) --Pnm (talk) 05:40, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Outlook cannot synchronize calendar and contacts with Zimbra without the Zimbra Connector for Outlook.  The same is true for Apple Mail without the Zimbra Connector for iSync.  Both can only do SMTP/IMAP/POP without the connector which is only for sending/receiving mail.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caidh (talk • contribs) 16:05, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...
=== Collaboration...===
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.
 
=== Where to list JavaScript articles ===
We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list. 
=== User scripts ===
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!
If you have need for a user script that does not 
yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.
=== How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention ===
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.
=== Rating JavaScript articles ===
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article.  Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:15, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

message: The article should mention some large Zimbra users, but how to select them?  mentions Rennes, which will invest 200 k€ and save 500 k€ with the switch to Zimbra, so it must be a rather big user, but I'm not comfortable adding it as sole example and I'm not sure how to select others. --Nemo 11:14, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Many places. The main issues were your choice of wording, which sounded like it was written by the company marketing department. We don't use external links in article text as per WP:EL and we need references for all added text, as per WP:V. We also don't list every version of a piece of software, just major versions as per WP:NOTCHANGELOG. In particular, since this was your first edit is seems very likely that you work for the company, so you will want to read WP:COI. That will explain that if you do have a conflict of interest (ie work for the company that makes this product) that you should declare your conflict of interest and then suggest changes here on the talk page and other editors will assess the changes and incorporate them if appropriate. I'm watching this page and happy to work with you to update it. - Ahunt (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

text: We can't just drop in a whole new article like that without comparing it to the existing article. We try to avoid putting text as lists, see WP:PROSE for some explanation there. You really need to show what changes you would like to see. - Ahunt (talk) 20:56, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

text: Very simple: just show which text needs replacing and propose new text to replace it. - Ahunt (talk) 20:16, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
