Talk:Comparison of XML editors

First, I am sorry to have edited this article not in sync with the policies. But I am not responsable for the vandalism by IP 85.241.113.219, although it took place nearly the same time. As other commerical products are also listed I wanted to add the two products that are now available in English. I am the author of these products. I understand that wikipedia should not be the place for advertisement but would it be able to add information on this software under the following circumstances...?

internal pages for each of the products that shortly describe them
no promotial language, just neutral descriptions
external links only on the product pages
description limited to the main points so that the user itself can justify about the value

What makes the applications special is also the approach to edit XML as a tree of nodes, not character by character. Although similar solutions have been released, they show another fresh way to edit XML.

Please discuss about my request and clarify the possibilites to place information about the XML editors.

One of the main criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia is notability as established by third-party reliable sources. So even if you use a neutral language to describe the applications, it may still not be sufficient to add them to the list. I would suggest you request for the articles to be created here and see what others think. Laurent (talk) 10:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested addition

Done Could someone please add the following? I would prefer to not make this edit myself due to conflict of interest, although I think it's an obvious addition. XMetaL has been a popular XML editor for 10 years[1] with 74,500 Google hits for "XMetaL XML editor".[2] Walk Up Trees (talk) 18:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested addition: XMLmind

XMLmind is an xml editor that is used for technical documentation, and in particular unsing DocBook and DITA.

Name	Software license	Windows	Mac OS X	Linux	Textual editor?	Graphical editor?
XMLmind	Proprietary	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Note: I do not put it right now on the main page, because I am not sure there are not enough product listed. XMLmind is however relatively well positionned in Google (at least for me).
