Notability of the software author and/or title is critical in keeping Wikipedia free of product spam. Your account appears to be used solely for the purpose of adding the Acrobits groundwire IM client. Neither Acrobits nor Groundwire have a Wikipedia page. If you would like your software to be listed here I suggest that you first create the Acrobits page or Groundwire page (whichever is appropriate).
In order to get a Wikipedia page for your company or product it must pass the WP:Notability standards. If it does and the article is well referenced then nobody will take issue with adding a product to the comparison of voip software page but as you are doing it now, it appears to be wikispam.
I don't want to get into a wikiwar with you but every day somebody else attempts to add their software to this list. Keeping the list notable keeps it usable.

- Acrobits Softphone and Groundwire are the leading mobile apps for iOS an Android, used by hundreds of thousands of users. We are one of the very few apps for iOS which support ZRTP encryption and as far as I know, we are the only ones which support it for video calls. I strongly believe the list is incomplete without any mention of Acrobits mVoIP apps.
- I understand the concern about spam and keeping the list notable. I will add pages which describe the apps so that wiki contains full information instead of just a line in this list and I hope the notability concerns will be cleared.
This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Acrobits, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.acrobits.cz/1/about-us.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Acrobits Softphone
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Acrobits Softphone, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Shirt58 (talk) 13:59, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
The article Acrobits Groundwire has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Sounds like an advert and the creator has a WP:conflict of interest
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 15:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

editHello, Royal0043. 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 Acrobits, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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. noq (talk) 15:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
