Individuals with a conflict of interest, particularly those representing the subject of the article, are strongly advised not to directly edit the article. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You may request corrections or suggest content here on the Talk page for independent editors to review, or contact us if the issue is urgent.

Written like an Advertisement

This article appears to be written like an ad and seems to have been written by the business itself in violation of Wikipedia guidelines (ACTUALCOI, SPA). 167.21.141.14 (talk) 12:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it's an advert, also Wikipedia has guidelines not rules about COI, so they are allowed to create it, just strongly discouraged from doing so. I've PRODed it. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:26, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperlinks

Just added alot of wikilinks, please say that it is now not underlinked

Product lists in infobox

Per Template:Infobox_company this parameter should include a "representative selection of the company's well known current or former products", not a comprehensive indiscriminate product list. Editors with a possible conflict of interest are welcome to suggest additions and changes - based on independent reliable sources - here on the talkpage (via "request corrections or suggest content" on top of the page).

Proposed deletion

Possible this could be challenged with improvement/correction but pointless if it would not survive an AfD so at this moment personally not prepared to deprod or attempt to make required improvements due to possibly fruitless effort involved. Article has suffered from quite possibly good faith edits from people with conflicts of interest. The totality of some previous edits to address some issues may have compromised this articles' survivability from other criteria.Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC) Article not eligible for PROD anyway.Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:56, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Capitisation

The company itself seems to be varying the capitisation of itself and its product. There it is unclear to me egress switch or Egress Switch is more appropriate; Egress switch is really not viable.Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:35, 18 April 2018 (UTC). Egress Switch used.Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:34, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article improvement

I've done some improvements. There's a redirect now set up from Egress Switch as that's where de-orphaning will come from. Most of the Looks like an advert stuff was actually removed previously some of which may have been technically useful. Article is however in my opinion capable of improvement.Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:34, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys, I'm an employee at Egress and would like to resolve some of the outstanding issues on the Egress Software company page. As per Wikipedia guidelines regarding COI, it would be great to discuss some of the issues with an expert rather than making any edits myself, and to add more up-to-date content about the company as it has grown in the past 4 years.
