The edits I reverted violated a couple of Wikipedia's policies. First, you're using Wikipedia as your advertising medium. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Please read WP:NOTADVERTISING.
Second, as an employee of Embarcadero, particularly one responsible for marketing, you have a conflict of interest in editing this article; i.e. "an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor." See WP:COI.
Your aim is to promote Embarcadero's products. There's nothing wrong with that, but it conflicts with the Wikipedia's goal of producing an unbiased encyclopedia. A COI does not necessarily disqualify you from editing the article, but it's strongly discouraged, and other editors will be more likely to revert your edits when they see a COI, and note the biases.
Your edits have been loaded with bias, hyping the products in marketing language and repeatedly salting the article with the Embarcadero URL. I understand, that's the sort of thing you're paid to do, but a Wikipedia article is the wrong place for it. TJRC ( talk) 18:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
I have to say, I did not find the page to read like ad copy, and it contains a lot of useful and unbiased information. He may be a marketing guy, but you're some guy who seems to hate corporations to the point where you can't read anything objectively. I came here looking for a run-down on the company before applying for a job, and found the page packed with info, not hype. Take a chill-pill, put your rants in the deep-freeze and let someone more neutral take up the task of objecting to ???. -- Solidpoint ( talk) 03:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

"Delphi is development environment for software developers and database application developers who need to maintain software applications. Parts of the Runtime Library (RTL) were replaced with contributions made by the cummunity project FastCode which provided compatible but faster replacements." This is the only paragraph about Delphi in the entire article. If I were going to mention one thing about Delphi, it wouldn't be FastCode. It doesn't even get this much mention on the Delphi page itself. That has 4 paragraphs about Delphi 2006 alone, with not one reference to FastCode.
Seems to me that the references that are on the Delphi page are sufficient, and this should be removed from the EMB page. Blwhite ( talk) 18:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The owner changed (or changes, not sure about the date it'll be effective) to a company named Idera. I already put a sentence in the hostory, but sicne I'm a bit unsurew about details I left the box alone.-- 79.213.140.25 ( talk) 14:26, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
I placed the paid contribution tag on the page as per some off-wiki evidence that confirms the company hired freelancer(s) to edit these pages. I have shared the details with @ MER-C, GeneralNotability, and Praxidicae: so please don't remove the tag without rewriting the page from a natural point of view. GSS 💬 06:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
