Two FreeLinc submissions to Wikipedia have been thoroughly edited to eliminate advertising elements. FreeLinc owns the intellectual property which drives the articles and was referenced heavily, including patents, to meet the rigorous source reference requirements of Wikipedia. FreeLinc as the pioneer in Near Magnetic Field Communication Systems, unavoidably, must reference itself. I regret this may seem like self-laudatory advertising, but it is true.
Although compromised, we believe the articles, even post-editing, still have unique and original significance worthy of encyclopedic entry into Wikipedia. We, therefore, respectfully request that Wikipedia publish the entries as edited. The entries, as edited, certainly do not constitute advertising and still convey a novel area of magnetic technology applied to wireless communications.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. Perchwriter (talk) 19:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- A couple of things you need to be aware of: you mention our "rigorous source reference requirements"...these require independent reliable sources...you have provided none. Second, you say "we believe"...who's "we"? I get the strong feeling that you are compromising our conflict of interest guidelines. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 22:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. When I use the collective term "we" I am referring to FreeLinc personnel and intellectual property we purchased from Aura Communications in October of 2007.
I appreciate your criticism that the article lacks "independent references." My dilemma is that it is difficult to provide "independent references" because FreeLinc and the assignors of FreeLinc's patents are the pioneers in this field. FreeLinc is start-up company advances a unique technology in a novel manner. I respectfully ask you to look at our website www.freelinc.com and the following link:
The above linked article, and the references within it, provide authentication for FreeLinc's technology application and the Wikipedia articles previously submitted. This link could be added as a reference. However, I want to point out that the reference might not be considered "independent" because, as stated above, FreeLinc purchased the pertinent Near Field Magnetic Induction chip patents from Aura Communications in 2007 and Aura is cited in the above linked article. The article probably pre-dates FreeLinc's acquisition of Aura's patents.
Aura and FreeLinc implemented this unique application of Near Field Magnetic Induction Communication. FreeLinc won the unique innovative product award at the International Wireless Show in Las Vegas two years ago for our wireless near field magnetic speaker microphone. When a company and it's patent assignor originate the unique application of a technology it is difficult to provide "independent references." And an article referencing yourself tends to make the presentation look like advertising. It is a conundrum I do not know how to solve. However, the concepts and, I respectfully submit, the articles previously submitted, as edited, have intellectual value. Therefore, I hope Wikipedia will honor the articles with publication, as edited, because they provide such novel information. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

- The way this is solved is to wait and allow the media to report on your product/service. If it really is notable, industry media will write about it. If time goes by, and no one thinks it's worth covering, then maybe you need to realize that the subject doesn't rise to the level of encyclopedic notability. The main point is, though, that it is inapppropriate for you to be writing about it here. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 12:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
