HomeRF

Thank you for adding to the article on HomeRF. We really need more on how these kind of technologies evolved. Many kids these days think computer networking started in 2008. The problem is that Wikipedia has style guidelines that prevent us from using material that is based on personal observation. In particular, [1] looks similar enough to the text added that it could be considered a copyright violation. What need to do to satisfy the deletionists, is find some independent sources if possible. Also we need to use a more neutral tone, and give some definitions, context, or at least Wikilinks to articles on technical terms before using them. I will work on some of this in hopes to rescue the information.

While I have your attention, one advantage of Wikipedia is that we can link things together with context. I noticed articles about OpenAir and Wireless LAN Interoperability Forum for example which might be related? Would be nice to know exactly how. For example, when they were just renamings or repositioning, vs. brand-new protocols, compared to, say RangLAN2 etc. and others of Proxim. Thanks.

Conflict of interest policy

Hello, Waynecaswell. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
