[edit] Main Image

Following along with the other companies listed on Wikipedia wouldn't it be better to show the companies Logo along with an infobox rather than showing an image of the main headquarters as the Main Image. - Noctrine 13:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Edited as listed above (WP:Bold), its not all that great looking though. Need to find more Information on the Company Noctrine 13:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Competitors

Is it appropriate to link Compuware to a handful of competitors who only compete with Compuware in one narrow area of their line of business? This seems like a purposeful marketing effort, rather than an appropriate part of the Compuware wiki entry. If this were the standard approach to any entry about a corporation on Wikipedia, then large companies like Compuware would necessarily have to link to dozens of competitors...

→This is a really good point. I'm going to remove blind links to competitors that give no indication why they're there, since realistically an entire page could be written on that topic for every company that has ever existed. Seems a little foolish... Regress 17:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  1. This page seems to me more like a commercial than a Wikipedia entry. Why "Products" here? For the product line, just check the website. I've checked out a few other wikipedia entries for other companies and nowhere I found a product list. That part should be summarized. Also, the part about "Compuware customers include:" seems another marketing text, with no added value: I've made a summary from it. I've also readded the stub part since the information content is really low. --Folletto 21:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  1. Yes, this is an advert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.7.166.181 (talk) 10:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
