Talk:Crystal Reports

message: I removed the mention and links to one specific viewer in the section on running reports locally. There are at least a dozen viewers out there. This is too many to start mentioning them all by name. Besides, This one is 'free' but at least three other viewers are  free (and without ads), so I am not sure why this one viewer and vendor should be mentioned by name.
I also removed the external link to the front page of that same vendor, because that page provides no useful content and is purely promotional. There are hundreds of businesses that provide useful Crystal Reports services and I don't think that we want links to all of them here. External links should be to pages that have at least some useful content.
Please reserve the top external link for the Crystal Reports product page. That is what the article is about.

message: Please tell me in what way is my article  opportunistic and how to make it non-opportunistic?
:Articles about how to not use the product such as replacements, competitors, different approaches, etc, are un-encyclopedic. And oh, I read your article. It is a good article, but and I really don't think you have enough grounds to say you could substitute CR by using your method. --Pinnecco 16:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Please Reffer to Crystal Decisions for the company name.
:"Seagate software has relaunched itself under the moniker of Crystal Decisions and released version 8.5 of its reporting software, Crystal Reports, and the next generation of Seagate Info, which it has renamed Crystal Enterprise." --Pinnecco 20:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Company Name 

message: I'm still a little unclear on this. Should Crystal Reports Server be a part of this article, or the Business Objects Enterprise one (if any)? It seems like the documentation is fractured all over the place to make sure we need their help to figure anything out....--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crystal Reports Server 

message: The statement
Crystal Reports became the de facto standard report writer ...
does not seem to be substantiated by the citation
a) the article does not mention "de facto"
b) the source probably does not meet WP:SOURCES criteria for reliability

message: Microsoft discontinued this practice and later released their own competitive reporting too...
doesn't seem to be true considering that it can be found in Visual Studio 2010

thread_title:  Versions and Editions 

message: From the development pace, and the afct that as of 2020, it's at least ~4 years old w/o development, can we conclude it's been discontinued? Perhaps any official announcements? Tabdiukov (talk) 09:04, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
