"Non-traditional" families

Could there be a criterion listing the programs' support for what for want of a better word I'll call non-traditional family structures, such as adoption, non-married couples, and same-sex marriages? - 70.29.143.214 (talk) 09:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RootsMagic entry declared advertising

My name is Bruce Buzbee, president of RootsMagic, Inc. Our genealogy program RootsMagic is one of the best selling genealogy programs on the market, yet every time I try to create a page or add information to this comparison page, someone comes along and kills it.

I completely understand the requirements, yet our product information (which is no different than the pages or information on any of the other products listed) continues to be un-done as advertising.

The latest occurrence our updates to the comparison were undone, even though all we did was list the facts for the software exactly the way it was done for every other program. Can someone please explain why ours is considered advertising, while the others aren't. And before someone says it is because we don't have a page on Wikipedia, please keep in mind that the exact same thing happens every time we try to create a page, even though we have based the content on our page on the other products which also have pages.

Because you shouldn't be adding content to Wikipedia about your own products. Please see WP:COI and WP:SPAM. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 15:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More Genealogy Software wanted for comparison

Why are there so few programs listed? 211.28.209.102 (talk) 00:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The list was cut back to those that had articles available on wiki. Keith D (talk) 14:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saw your comment and noticed geditcom did not have a wiki article so I removed it
