Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to GENESIS (software). Advertising, and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox", is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. — Coren (talk) 03:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- I understand, but at this time the article (a) reads like advertisement copy, and (b) still looks like an attempt to promote or publicize the software. Software, like any other topic, needs to be notable before it gets an article. — Coren (talk) 03:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- A few points:
- Notability is not transitive. That NEURON (software) has an article is unrelated to whether GENESIS (software) should.
- You need reliable sources. Something is not of historical interest just because the article says so.
- You might want to change the style of the article to be simply descriptive, gloss over the historical interest, and provide sources. If you do that, then it's all set. — Coren (talk) 04:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
