SPARX Reference
editThe SPARX Reference keeps reappearing. They sell modeling tools, their page on Wikipedia is all commercial, and their name and link should be removed from this article.

Enterprise architect
editI semi-protected the article Enterprise architect in response to a request at WP:RFPP as it had undergone a significant amount of newly registered and anonymous user vandalism. It was NOT an endorsement of the material in the article. If you have an issue with the material and cannot edit the article, you should place {{editprotected}} on the talk page, with the edit to be made, and another user will do so. You may also want to see WP:AFD for the procedure on how to request an article be deleted. MBisanz talk 03:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello Tom Corn. The TOGAF URL which you removed was serving as a reference. Please discuss at Talk:Zachman framework if you find fault with the use of TOGAF. By Wikipedia standards TOGAF is a reliable source, since it's available as a published book.
I have left some suggestions on Talk:Zachman framework how we can search for outside evaluations of the ZF. Zachman's own web site is not a proper source for judging the value of his method; we need the opinion of outsiders. (That's why the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard happens to be discussing this). EdJohnston (talk) 04:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- You don't appear to be familiar with the sourcing rules for Wikipedia. We are allowed to use published books, whenever they have relevant commentary. Whether the authors of TOGAF have been certified to use the Zachman Framework is not an issue for us. it might be an issue for you, but when you post material here, you must accept that we use our rules for whether content is reliable and deserves to be kept.
- Can you imagine telling a newspaper reporter interviewing you, 'Sorry, you mustn't talk to my opponent; I haven't approved him to speak on this subject.' Do you think the reporter would listen? EdJohnston (talk) 17:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
