Umm... Why register? Never saw the point, for casual editing.

Because they prefer that you do. Comments on the talk pages tend to have a little more weight when they're not from an IP.

Added a little bit that I thought was important (at least for geeks exploring the page ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo#Alternate_Desktops

Edit: Cited everything.

I'm hoping they get there soon, we've definitely got a 3RR on our hands here if nothing else. :\

I am really at a loss as to what else to do. This person believe we all work for Nokia; Really, if that is the case, I'm wondering where my paycheck is!
2. Nokia have a department aimed at influencing developers to act as evangelists for them. They hand out free hardware and special access to future OS developments (potentially very financially significant if the platform succeeds - and GA has made posts boasting of such information) and jobs to evangelists who please them. Even if none of these people work for Nokia, I'm not sure that they are sufficiently disinterested so that they should be editing the wikipedia article - they all have a potential financial interest and Nokia is trying to actively use them as PR tools.
I guess nobody can ever comment on the SONY page then... their products are in everything!

Wow.

Just... wow.

I must be screwing up somewhere-- I'm not getting paid for ANY of my evangelism! In fact, too much of it and I risk my current job.

Wow.

His pretense at reasonableness seems to be falling apart.
This does NOT mean "If you and your friends who have all invested time and money in a platform and have received gifts and services from Nokia gang up to edit wikipedia, then your will shall prevail". It's talking about about the overall view of informed majority sources trumping that of eg a group of Debian hacker wannabe fanboys.
Then you don't understand what NPOV is. You appear to think it means "Saying things I, GA, don't like". It doesn't. It means using biasing adjectives, spin, or concealing facts.
. . . and apparently anybody that disagrees with meanwhile is a vandal.

Actually there is a much larger issue with reasonableness. On April 18th the Admins referred him to mediation which requires all parties to agree to be mediated.

He chose to ignore that advice and revert the page after several more days worth of edits.
