thread_title: Merely an advertisement

message: You just reverted a slew of changes I made to this article. 
The version of the article you reverted back to is:
Not in the standard wikipedia format/style; 
Is full of almost meaningless cooperate speak; 
Reads like it was written by an InnoCentive PR person to persuade people to buy stock in it. 
It has POV statements like: 
"Hopefully, one day in the future, Innocentive will be a valid approach to solving any R&D challenge."
and
"While Yet2 is an inherently a weak competitor, its presence in the marketplace complicates Innocentive’s message to potential clients and may diminish the perceived value of open innovation." 
and 
"These competitors also leverage an online network of professional problem solvers in the name of open innovation. However, none have a basic value proposition similar to or as powerful as Innocentive’s."
etc. (there are many more examples of the sort of phrase I removed...)
If you honestly think that I have cut out some genuinely encyclopaedic and NPOV analysis, then please incorporate them back into the more wikipedia style version of the article I have constructed; or discuss them on this talk page. 
For the moment am reverting back to the wikified version, if we can't agree on this then we can try and bring in some other editors in order to reach a consensus. Tomgreeny 17:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: My opinion: Of the two versions, Tomgreeny's is more encyclopedic. 18.172.7.61's version reads like it was copied from a corporate investor report or an application for investment. Wikipedia is not propaganda or advertising. 18.172.7.61, I suggest you review Wikipedia's policies and the Manual of Style. While you may not work for the company, you could still have a conflict of interest if you are connected with the company in other ways.
Also, in the future please follow the standard practice of placing your text below the comment to which you are replying, and "sign" your message using four tildes (~~~~). Anomie 21:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third opinion 

message: The founding of Innocentive can not be tied to the Santa Fe Institute.  While it is true one of the originators/inventors was an active participant in Santa Fe institute activities, there was no relationship to SFI and the brainstorm that led to Innocentive.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.208.218.255 (talk) 04:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleaning up the backstory on Innocentive 

message: The first reference which purportedly links to a story on the New York Times is broken.  The Times has likely changed their structure and altered the URL.

thread_title:  Broken Link 

message: Hi,
This page has been modified to reflect current facts such as changes in the management board. The existing content was edited to reflect a neutral point of view. The following are the new sections that were added:
1) Business Model
2) Solutions of Note
3) User base
4) Research 
5) Similar Organizations
Section 'Concept Model' was removed as it was a misnomer and its information was included in the 'Research' section.
Also, a new table of company facts has been added to the 'Company' section.
The company logo was added to the infobox.
More links and citations were added.
Please let me know if I can improve upon these changes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nncntv12 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
