[edit]
Hello, LanceMitchell88. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article EasyCloud, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 03:19, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to EasyCloud, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 03:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit]EasyCloud is a trademarked and patented invention. It is a combination of 3 REAL Technologies that are all 3 named on Wikipedia. These are as follows: Infrastructure As A Service, Platform As A Service and Software As A Service. If you know anything about cloud computing, you will know that EasyCloud just released the first IPSaaS platform in the business. Also, if you check their website and press, it says its a Patent-Pending, Trademarked and Copyrighted technology that is backed by Rackspace. What i was saying on the talk page was I was going to write more about IPSaaS technology. I myself did not create the technology or have any affiliation to EasyCloud other than the fact that I am a tech and political journalist on Twitter "@stormkrow" that has Tweeted about them before. Also to note: I feel this article is very relevant (once finished) because IPSaaS decreases server build times, literally, by hours. I have tried this technology myself. Not only that, I built my own IPSaaS platform for my future blog. Thats why I was going to take the time tonight to write this article. It was my first wiki article, but I felt it was relative and couldn't believe it wasn't listed! I have worked on diagrams all night for this and was planning to submit it as a page titled "IPSaaS" and I was going to revise the EasyCloud page. Since this is a real technology already in existence that improves on a past technology, I feel this is due some type of consideration. Furthermore, after further research on the founders of this company, they have participated in several platinum selling music projects and they have the interview and graphic design to prove it. I was going to write a Wikipedia article on the CEO as well. After watching many rap interviews, featuring the CEO, it is obvious that he is a very important person in the hip hop business, to this very year. You can find rappers praising his marketing abilities and the jobs he did on several platinum selling records. I feel this needs to be considered for an article. If I'm wasting time, writing about a real technology for wikipedia... then tell me what is journalism coming to and I won't bother. On the other hand, I have done alot of research on this and would love to at least start the article for a technology that will be around for at least a few years, just like IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. These are all billion dollar vertical markets that definitely deserve attention.
Also as a writer, I would like to credit myself with breaking down this technology into words, which the company who sells it, definitely won't do. I wanted to break this down for everyone to do on their own or for themselves. That should be enough proof that I don't have any affiliation with the company. Can I please be guided through the process so that I can write future tech pages on wikipedia?

Also: Inside the article, I attached my own freelance writing release, that I wrote myself. EasyCloud did not make me release that information. I did it on my own, just as any other freelance writer would, that is looking for work. Call my methods old but they work for me :)
