Talk:PCPaint

message: A tag has been placed on :PCPaint, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. 
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Rjgodoy 22 May 2007.
:I removed the deletion. The deletion message states "You may remove this message if you improve the article, or if you otherwise object to deletion of the article for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, it should not be replaced."
:I don't understand your position on blatant advertsing. I disagree entirely. Specifically what does a 55 year old Canadian Software developer possibly hope to gain by advertising a product that has not been sold for 22 years?  
:Regardless let's work together to get this cleaned-up. Please don't make it so difficult for me to contribute to Wikipedia. This is not a "closed shop". --Bill Buckels 14:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi can anyone find a cite for this : "Mouse Systems bundled PCPaint with millions of mice that they shipped, making PCPaint also the best-selling PC paint program of the late 1980s." --Lwarf 10:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed the references. See the history of PCPaint. --Bill Buckels 13:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a footnote for the bundling, but finding numbers for the number of mice sold over 20 years ago is proving elusive.  I am continuing my search on that.  Lyricanjl 01:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
