if wikipedia wants to do advertising... do it in little text boxes like google does on their search results, with 'paid content' at the top of the box.
but this half-underhanded secret stuff.... gross! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Decora ( talk • contribs) 23:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
apparently campaign contributions by boards of directors and CEOs are not considered 'encyclopedic'! i do apologize, for my impropriety.
but anyways... the guys mentioned in the article have given tens of thousands of dollars to republican and democratic candidates... Jeff Branman gave $5500 to the Comcast Political Action committee, which has given 5 million dollars to political candidates since the year 1997. rubenstein gave $1,000 to Randy Duke Cunningham (R, now in prison), and $2000 to Chuck Schumer (D), among others. again, not encyclopedic.
The cofounder of Adobe gave $100,000 to the democratic senatorial campaign committee in the year 2000. Other employees of Adobe have given tens of thousands of dollars to politicians since the year 2000. also not encyclopedic.
Damnit, I forgot to mention that David M Rubenstein has lobbied Congress to keep Private Equity firm bosses taxes at %15, by calling their income ' Carried interest' . [1] (also not belonging in an encylcopedia)

Could Ironholds and Dabomb87 please tell us if they have any connection to or interest in Scene7? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.195.185.97 ( talk) 10:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Incredible. This article made it all the way to FA without any talk page discussion!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.127.188.10 ( talk) 13:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Lots of spelling errp\ors, i will start fixing them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.30.106.238 ( talk) 19:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This article appears to violate a whole number of cherished Wiki guidelines not least WP:NOT, WP:NPOV and Spam to name but a few. How can this get past the Featured Article Review ? Is this not the most obvious Conflict of Interest if ever there was one ?
How is this possible ? Help !

I would like to register my great concern that this article made it through the review process. For all its pretensions to being a factual article (and I assume that it is factually correct), what it really is is free advertising for the company. I thought that after the Elderly Instruments business last year we wouldn't see any more of these, but it seems I was wrong. This article is the kind of thing that makes me ashamed of Wikipedia.

I would like to edit this article down to a size commensurate to the importance of this company. I notice, for example, that this article about Scene7 is longer than the Wiki article about Scene7's parent company, Adobe Systems. There is much extraneous detail that could be cut. Does anyone object to this? Reading comments on this Talk page, it appears no one would object. I find it very odd that this article, which is tantamount to free advertising, remains in Wikipedia at this length and in this detail. Chisme ( talk) 16:15, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
I have reverted the changes because they need more discussion. Turning a featured article into a two-paragraph stub is a bold, probably over-bold, decision. I suggest you ask for more input on your proposed changes by inviting people to this talk page from the Wikiprojects listed above (a short message on the projects' talk pages would be best), so that a proper consensus can be built.

The article is only 20kB, so it is clearly not too long, and material cannot be removed on that basis. See Wikipedia:Article size for guidance. DrKay ( talk) 08:01, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Since the issues raised above have not been resolved and the article has been consensually pared down, I am moving it to FAR. Leefeni de Karik ( talk) 04:04, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
This rather detailed article comes to a crashing halt in 2007 when Scene7 was acquired by Adobe. What has happened with Scene7 in the ensuing 12 years? Anybody know? In keeping with this article's level of detail and attention to Scene7, much work needs doing. Scene7 is now 24 years old. This article only covers the company's dramatic first 12 years. What new rich media, what new advances in interactive publishing has the groundbreaking subsidiary engaged in during the past dozen years? Wikipeida readers want to know.
