owns the specification, while keeping it in the public domain. - This sentense contradicts itself due to the definition of public domain. Thue 09:05, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

B2Bits is a commercial private company, Wikipedia should not be used for such purpose, a list of commercial FIX vendors can be found on www.fixprotocol.org Pompom2309 13:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The list of company depicted at the begining is inaccurate and incomplete. Why choose Putnam and not ABN or any other company. We could state first companies to use FIX or the largest company. Accurate lists are availlable on www.fixprotocol.org. But I have the feeling that any guy coming will add his own company.

Onix is also a commercial organization, so should not appear here as noted in the above comment regarding B2Bits. Camerojo 00:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Camerojo

Thanks Camerojo to help with the clean up. Kaleo has also to go. Pompom2309 16:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the "definitions" for FIXpert and FIXperiment. There is no source for them and they fail the google test. 68.17.18.254 15:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)me

I thought it might be useful to provide a link to the relevant Wikipedia guidelines relating to links to commercial site. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam. In particular, quoting from that page, "Adding external links to an article for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam."

"Perhaps we have reached a mutually acceptable compromise here. If so, it is a good example of how Wikipedia really can work!"

I agree completely. FIXtechie 13:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
