I've been looking at your work on the tvtv article. I commend you for trying, because I know it's not easy to contribute to Wikipedia. I can also see that you are trying to abide by the guidelines, but I also see that you are not quite there yet. Your writing is focusing too much on "the vision of the company" on "what it tries to be". You probably aren't even realizing it yourself, because you are so much a part of the company. This is exactly the reason why we have a guideline about conflict of interest writing. Not because people aren't allowed to write about things that interest them or they know a lot about, but because they are usually very bad at it.
So I'll try to guide you a bit.
Try not to write for a consumer, competitor or industry magazine. Assume the person is someone who knows nothing about EPG data. Someone who doesn't even have a TV might have very different questions about tvtv than your consumer. Explain to the world, instead of preaching to the choir. — TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 01:27, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Mysandbox. Since you had some involvement with the Mysandbox redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. KATMAKROFAN ( talk) 04:30, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
