Stuff added/changed in the Wiki should be considered extremely carefully...
eg:
quote:
Messenger Plus! Live builds upon the functionality of Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger adding and improving key functionality and enhancing the messenger experience.
This should be removed or said otherwise. At it is now, this is not objective at all!
"improving" => This is can be seen as objective. Some people will not find much "improvement" or might even find some things annoying...
"adding key functionality" => what you call 'key' functionality isn't what somebody else calls 'key' functionality. "key" should be removed.
"enhancing the messenger experience" => sales pitch... This is highly subjective information and should not be there.
All who edit those pages: Unless you are extremely well informed at what is accepted on wikipedia and what not, unless you write good English, unless you have experience in adding/editing stuff on Wikipedia, And unless you know what you're talking about, don't start changing or adding stuff.

We are allowed to edit it. Even Patchou is allowed to edit it. It would make little sense if people who have first hand information wouldn't be allowed to add information, as long as it are facts.
However, it should be unbiased information (eg: programming language, version info, etc). But that goes actually for anyone who edits wiki articles.
------------------------------
PS: I've updated several things on the page...
However, the majority of the article is still not good. At the moment there is a very heavy side towards how "bad" Plus! is (3 sections talking about it), without any contra-evidence.
Moreover, the cited links and some references used to back up the current "anti-Plus!" facts are in themselfs extremely biased and thus shouldn't be used. Even more, they are used in the wrong sections and added to the wrong sentences.
It is a serious work in progress...
