Edits to be made

Hi, openQRM is now under new management, so some edits need to be made to the Wikipedia entry.

As a disclosed employee of openQRM, I've been encouraged to not make edits directly. So I will suggest them for other editors to make

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. See reasons below.

Firstly, we want to include dedicated tables of the plugin features under Plug-ins, a short briefing on their purpose. This is so visitors can be more informed on the functionality of the software. ^[1] I have attempted to make these edits multiple times in the past, only for them to be rejected, even after revision.

Secondly, dates need to be corrected, our most recent release was on the 30th of January, 2018. The page already has this information, but it was incorrect in the Infobox. For some reason unknown to me, this simple correction was challenged.

Thirdly, Under the history section, there's misinformation; "openQRM was initially released by the Qlusters company and went open-source in 2004". This is false, as it was released as open-source, not made open-source later. So, the line should read: "openQRM was originally released by the Qlusters company and later in 2004 was released as an open-source project."

Fourthly, a citation should be added to the second paragraph under History^[2]

Hi @BenSteain: thanks for complying with the paid-editing disclosure policies. I'm declining your request for a few reasons, which I'll explain here:

Your first request isn't specific enough. If you want tables included, please put the tables in your request, with reliable sources.
Your second request I've declined because I'm not completely sure what you want changing: do you want the infobox to say "30th of January, 2018" as the latest release date?
Your third request doesn't have reliable sources to back it up. If there's misinformation, please provide sources to back up what you want it to say; or explain why the given sources aren't reliable or are incorrect.
Your fourth request I've declined because your company's website isn't considered reliable for Wikipedia's purposes (see WP:SPS).

A useful way of specifying what you want changing would be to state your request in a "please change X to Y", or "please remove/add Z" format - while always using reliable sources. If you need help finding any, please visit the reference desk. Seagull123 Φ 19:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, openQRM has released a new version, so the versions need to be updated

1. Please change: ″Release 5.3.8 on 30.01.2018 5.3.8 openQRM release for Community and for Enterprise.

Dependencies have been updated to ensure compatibility to the latest Linux distributions. There is also an enhanced check for PHP versions in place as well as full support for PHP 7. While openQRM fully supports PHP7, some integrated technologies have not yet completed up this step. In this case Magento, Mantis and I-do-it Integration may still require PHP 5.

The new openQRM 5.3.8 is tested on: Debian 8/9, Ubuntu 16.x + 17.x and Centos 7.

The 5.3.5 Community Release includes updated package dependencies.

The 5.3.2 Community Release includes enhanced package dependencies for latest Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and removed rpmforge repository dependencies.
