message: Don't get me wrong, I love MSI, but this article reads like an advertisement! It's unacceptable for Wikipedia. – Lunarbunny 06:05, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Reads Like an Advertisement

message: Sorry, but this page is indicative of all of Wikipedia: poorly written, bad grammar, non-existant maintenence, etc. etc..  I've been working as hard as I can with what little time I have, making new computer related articles, cleaning many up (just finished ASUS), but man, the task at hand is too big.

:I tend to agree, but the encyclopedia article shouldn't have that in it.  Next time you want to mess around, use the sandbox. DoomBringer 06:30, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  MSI RULEZ 

message: this page has been written by the marketing wing of MSI. please remove it, wikipedia is no place to advertise your company
:Agreed.  This is nothing but crap.  I tried to remove the blatently biased material, but after doing so the article was about 6 lines long.  Somebody needs to do a rewrite :/
:Concur. My idea is to get a relatively normal version from history and then add information that was added later, without it sounding like it came straight from marketing.

replies: text: I traced article history for a bit and then found out that advertising text was written by User:Borko.radojkovic (see his contributions). Important stuff about MSI that remained for some time was removed and I personally think a revert should have been done. -Mardus 00:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  disgraceful 

message: :Image:Msi logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Msi logo.jpg

message: I've noticed some discrepancies.
MSI should only be written with capital letters, the logo is in small print so all references to "MSi, Msi, msi" etc are wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neliz (talk • contribs) 01:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  MSI link and use of the name 

message: User:59.125.101.61 is a Taiwanese IP address. This IP has exclusively edited the MSI page since 2013 by removing vandalism and adding awards. In addition, it has removed Template:Advert tags twice (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Micro-Star_International&diff=prev&oldid=679216685 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Micro-Star_International&diff=prev&oldid=679216994 double-undo) (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Micro-Star_International&diff=prev&oldid=734540599 ).
I suspect this is MSI PR attempting to "preserve" their image by removing advertisement tags. Jimbo1qaz (talk) 03:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
