Missing source material, and improved detail, expected to become available during Spring 2019.TonyP (talk) 14:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You still have not provided sourcing and the material I removed again is promotional and does not belong. Please do not reinstate it without independent reliable sourcing. Please also do not remove the reference to the political party, which is designed to be helpful to the reader. Thank you! Star Mississippi 19:23, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article was flagged for notability so I added the notable features back -- including the US patent registrations. As this is an article about "software" rather than just the company then I consider that important. Those features have clearly influenced current products such as MS OLAP, but reviews are behind pay-walls still so it's hard to cite direct references. Also, in undoing my latest change -- which I strongly object to -- you have also reinstated an error, leaving me no choice but to correct it again. TonyP (talk) 08:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tonyproctor. That is not an error. It is designed to help the reader. Unfortunately none of the information you provided establishes notability per the guidelines, so doesn't help address the issue. Paywalled sources are fine if they are reliable and independent. Since you have a connection, you should not edit the article directly, but rather make use of edit requests. Thanks! Star Mississippi 14:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might have missed the change that has now disambiguated this page from other uses of the term 'Holos'. This reference therefore has no remaining value on this page, and it will help no reader looking for that political reference. I am therefore asking you to remove it before I report this continued reverting as vandalism. TonyP (talk) 15:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You continue to misunderstand the purpose of hat notes, which is to be expected of an infrequent editor. You're welcome to report me, but it isn't going to end the way you want. While Holos is now a disambiguation, as you noted. The political party is notable. Your software's notability is debatable and the page was just moved so people might be following old links. As such, I have restored the hat note. As I said, feel free to report me, but it isn't vandalism. Star Mississippi 18:21, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note also, Holos is now the disambiguation page again so the hat note remains appropriate. Star Mississippi 16:22, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
