Comments

This is a real company with thousands of customers. It is really growing as fast as the articles explain and should be added to Wikipedia. Any company that has been listed as Technology Pioneer of the Year for 2008 should be listed here. Let me know how I can make this post stick so that others may learn about QlikTech.

The article sounds like an advertisement, not an encyclopedia article. It should be written from a neutral point of view (i.e., not by the company or an employee thereof). Player 03 (talk) 21:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, seconded. I've added a NPOV to it. "....enables organizations to make better and faster decisions....ability to provide users with detailed data analysis with a single click", etc. Sounds like the QlikView is writing its resume.Walker222 (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd originally nominated this for deletion, but upon further searching, I'm not convinced the company isn't notable. I am, however, convinced that the enormous "Awards" section at the end is spammy and self-promoting, so I've removed it in an effort to make the article more encyclopedic.evildeathmath 21:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move to QlikTech International

I suggest that this article be moved to QlikTech International, the company's full name. Does anyone have any comments on the proposed move? --Eastmain (talk) 02:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems to be written in advertisement literature and contains personal judgments about some companies instead of facts and figures —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.127.26.170 (talk) 18:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

missing data point

the article doesn't say when has the company moved from Sweden to the US. צחי (talk) 11:38, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clearing out non-RSes in a few days

This article's been a sea of primary sources for a long while. I'll be clearing out everything cited only to a non-WP:RS in a few days - David Gerard (talk) 18:56, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page cleanup

Hi everyone, I just started what I consider a clean-up, namely trying to add more neutral references, etc. Please help me to brainstorm what has to be done before the templates for verification can be removed. The following is on my to-do list:

Summarize what https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2016/08/31/qlik-stock-withdrawn-as-thoma-bravo-completes-acquisition/#7d51c82aa4f8 is about.
Summarize and cite https://www.heise.de/ix/meldung/Business-Intelligence-Qlik-zeigt-neue-Software-fuer-Entwickler-4026480.html
Elaborate on the difference between QlikView and QlikSense given my discussion with the Qlik hotline.
Inquire about when the company moved to US.
Figure out, what is known in the Swedish web about the company.

Clean up mass reversion

Hi @MrOllie:, I appreciate your edits on the page and your vigilance on Wikipedia. I understand some of the content was poorly sourced or too bussiness related. I'd like to add a small amount of the existing edits back in that were associated with sources that meet WP:RS. I will also tone down any promotional language in my revision. Here are some of the sources I'm talking about: https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-us-co-qlik-buys-attunity-in-560m-cash-deal-1001274304 (Israel Business News) https://www.computerworlduk.com/data/qlik-launches-industrys-only-end-end-data-platform-3696832/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/qlik-acquires-podium-data-as-bi-and-big-data-coalesce/ (Author is expert in the field)

Snappytimez (talk) 14:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All three of them look like thinly rewritten press releases to me. - MrOllie (talk) 15:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nasdaq

This article is included in the Companies formerly listed on the Nasdaq category. However, there is no mention of Nasdaq in the article. This Nasdaq press release is the announcement that Nasdaq: QLIK would start trading on July 16, 2010. It appears that QLIK traded up to 2016.

This June 2016 web article about The Rise and Fall of Qlik mentions that QLIK had agreed to be acquired by the private equity firm Thoma Bravo. I'm guessing that caused QLIK to be removed from Nasdaq though don't know the exact date that happened.

Overall, the company trading on Nasdaq for six years seems significant enough that it should be mentioned in the article. --Marc Kupper|talk 06:42, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Undisclosed Paid Banner

It may very well be true that the original article was created by an advertiser (certainly appears that way from early Talk page comments), but that was in 2008 and the article has been heavily-edited and rendered down to a nPOV by multiple editors in the intervening 16 years. I'm hard-pressed to find anything here that isn't a simple statement of fact. It's all "in year 200X, they did Y" and "product X is used to do Y" kind of stuff. In other words, if the paid hype is long gone and virtually every word has been replaced (sorry, Theseus!), then is the big scary banner really necessary at this point? 68.202.111.228 (talk) 20:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
