message: I didn't read too much into the article; just putting it here if anyone wants to add it to the article.
:I'm not surprised.  I took the photos of the Googleplex and Intuit headquarters and I noticed that they are very close to each other (the northernmost Google building is across the street from the southernmost Intuit building).  It would have been very easy for their execs to bump into each other while jogging around the block or visiting local restaurants.  --Coolcaesar 02:54, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, those are old Google buildings.  The main Googleplex is a few more blocks away.  Still in the area, but not as neighbourly as they once were. --Bdoserror 22:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featuring Google Products? 

message: I'm culling some of the "Criticism and controversies" section as it flows pretty oddly.  Trying to take a look at from an outsider's perspective, if I cracked open an encyclopedia to a page on Intuit, what would I want to learn about them.  that "The Microsoft Money converter for Quicken does not convert Money data files to Quicken 2008"?...pretty obscure.
Instead, suggest looking at it through this lens:
*Does each side of the 'criticism' or 'controversy' have Verifiable, reliable sources?
*Is the 'criticism' or 'controversy' relatively unique to Intuit and not the broader software/financial service industries?
*Has the 'controversy' (as well as the individual positions) itself been discussed in a reliable source?
The company profile and product list seem fairly objective to me, I don't think the goal is to have a promotional article for Intuit.  Many of these criticism belong on someone's blog.  If they reach such a mindshare that 3rd party source begin to cover them, they will be added to the article, perhaps even in the lead area about the company.

replies: text: I concur with your deletions.  Much of that text seemed to be in violation of Wikipedia policies, particularly Wikipedia:No original research.  If and when those issues actually receive coverage from major news sources (e.g. Facebook's strange account deletion policy was covered today in the New York Times) then they can be restored to the article.  --Coolcaesar (talk) 08:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Culling criticism and controversies section 

message: * The article is written like an advertisement: "sales of Quicken grew explosively", "Quicken became a best-seller in its market", "customer support in its early years was legendary.", "with a vast array of features", etc. Spam and weasel words should be removed (nothing new so far, it was already tagged)
* Notability of the products: The list is too long and notability of each product has to be established. It should not be a list of all products made by the company, but only of those that are notable (all others could be just mentioned on a separate paragraph). If all of them are notable, consider moving the most important ones to separate articles.
* Criticism section in list format: It could be appropriate to write this section as a paragraph, explaining what the activation scheme from Macrovision is, and why it's use is considered controversial.
* Citations: Statements like: "It has significant R&D activity", "company wasn't a major success until the advent of Windows 3.0 in early 1990s, when sales of Quicken grew explosively", etc need reliable, third-party sources. Iunaw 16:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Valid, points, all - what are the thoughts on splitting the products list to a seperate article - 'List of Intuit products'?  The list o' products has seemed to overwhelm discussion of Intuit the company.  This might provide a balance between judging whether each of the products is notable in of itself (and deserves an article), and retaining the details of the products Intuit has produced over the years Cander0000 (talk) 04:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest to rewrite the product list rather than moving it. Moving the whole list to a separate article is no improvement if it's still a list of products, but it could be used to improve the article in an encyclopedic way. I believe the best solution would be to put them in the article's context, giving information about the history of the company and their products, the targets they have, how these have changed over time, the success or lack of success of these products, etc. Notable products could have their own article. Look at Apple Inc or Microsoft, their products are mentioned, but from the historical perspective.  Iunaw 15:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I've created Quicken, culling some content from Intuit and inspired by the format of QuickBooks.  There seems to be consensus here that some of Intuit's products are notable in of themselves, namely Quicken at the least.  Article certainly can use further references, but have strived to make in neutral and avoid some of the debates over whether the article is considered advertising.Cander0000 (talk) 20:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Article issues

message: I removed the "too long" tag. I don't see any problem. I also don't see any rationale or discussion on the Talk page. The 32K limit hasn't been an issue for year and years, and anyway the article is only about half that length. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quicken Health Expense Tracker 

message: Full disclosre - I work for the Intuit Accounting Professionals Divsion. I have some updated information on products and acquisitions for your consideration for the Intuit Wikipedia page at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuit.
Under the Products section:
[edit] ProSeries
ProSeries tax software, an Intuit ProLine Solution, evolved from TurboTax and grew over the years to become a full-fledged professional preparer product and a leader in the market. It serves full-time tax preparers. There are two versions: ProSeries Professional and ProSeries Basic.
[add] Lacerte
Lacerte tax software, an Intuit ProLine Solution, was acquired by Intuit in 1998. It serves a wide range of full time tax professionals who serve a high volume of individual and business client needs, including highly complex tax returns. Lacerte Tax includes federal and state tax modules for 1040, 1065, 1120, 1120S, 990, 1041, 709, 706 and 5500, as well as services for firms with staff requiring multiple locations and multi-user access.
[add] ProLine Tax Online
ProLine Tax Online, an Intuit ProLine Solution, was first released by Intuit in 2009. It is a web-based tax solution for tax professionals, supporting the preparation of Federal and state tax returns for 1040, 1065, 1120 and 1120S and providing multi-user access for tax firms with multiple employees.
There are several other products that Intuit has released in the last year, but I don't know to what level of specificity you'd like to see in the Intuit article.
Thank you for considering these proposed edits,

thread_title:  Updates to Intuit Page - For Editors' Consideration 

message: :In 2010, Intuit required all users of earlier versions of Quicken to upgrade to Quicken 2011 or they would lose many of the capabilities that existed in earlier versions, such as the dowloading of stock prices. The resulting upgrade lost many of the capabilities of earlier versions.
:In 2011, Intuit required all versions of earlier versions Quickbooks to upgrade to Quickbooks 2011 or they would lose their ability to directly connect to Merchant Services for Credit Card processing.
:The EULA for Quickbooks requires all users to permit Intuit to electronically obtain and use their financial data for unstated purposes. This applies to all versions of the product, including the personal and accounting versions. Although the information is supposedly anonymized, Intuit's almost exclusive monopoly in the market means that such information can be sold to data vendors and easily linked to actual entities. In addition, the IRS has recently begun demanding quickbooks files in taxpayer audits.
Someone please find some good sourcing for these claims. hbdragon88 (talk) 23:18, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
