[edit] Editing and conflict of interest

This was a statement added to the main article that really belongs here: "It should be noted that much of the information on this page (including edits) was placed here by Cygnus Business Media employees. In the interests of fairness and balance, any Cygnus employees editing this page or other Cygnus-related pages should identify themselves as such." Editors with business or other conflicts of interests should take a look at conflict of interest guidelines, FAQs and advice before adding edits to the main article. And...I have no connection with this company whatsoever, and the edits I made were to remove some of the more obvious links and corporate speak, along with content sourced to personal blogs that don't meet reliable sources guidelines.

[edit] edits

Sorry about the earlier revert- I was trying to get back to the template format similar to Ziff Davis, which is similar in size to Cygnus and which I based this listing's structure on originally. I have re-added the individual magazine list- just like is done for most magazine publishing companies. Iobannon | Talk 19:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The main difference is that most of the publications listed at Ziff Davis are not redlinked; almost all of the publications here were removed because they were not notable or did not have separate articles. If you are going to continue to add and write individual articles, it would probably be easier to add wikilinks to this article as the articles are created and pass notability guidelines.

[edit] Wholesale reverts

I recently reverted an edit that removed a great number of edits made over the past few months, including those dealing with mundane WP:MOS and other formatting and consistency issues. It seems such a severe edit doesn't improve the article, but instead forces editors to redo legitimate edits. If there are specific issues or areas needing improving, let's discuss them here first, but I don't think wholesale trashing of a number of other editors' work is the answer. Thanks.
