Thanks for the message. You cannot add completely unsourced statements like that to a Wikipedia article. Please read WP:RS for guidance on reliable sources. If you have a source for your edits, let me know, and I can help you add them with the appropriate formatting. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 22:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing to do is discuss this on the article's talk page and attempt to reach consensus with the other editors. – ukexpat (talk) 02:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributing to the article. I'm guessing you have some grudge against the iPhone to add a "Problems" section. Thank you for citing your sources, but on Wikipedia we also strive for Neutral Point of View. Yes, this means that the faults of the iPhone must be listed, but putting them is one place is generally discouraged. Specifically, I consider the issues regarding MobileMe irrelevant to the iPhone, but you are welcome to add them to that article. I have added the dropped calls issue to the end of the second paragraph under Software to illustrate how Apple releases software updates. Criticism should be integrated into the article, not gruped in a separate section, and ideally will cite sources from both Apple and third parties. (After all, you can't expect Apple to criticize itself.) I welcome edits like that, but if you insist on re-inserting the Problems section, be aware of the Three Revert Rule. If you have questions about policy, please ask me. If you would like to comment on the article as a whole, you can use the talk page; just create a new section on the bottom and sign your post.

Please assume good faith and please read your talk page messages more carefully before you respond to the wrong user. – ukexpat (talk) 03:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, this is a content dispute and should be discussed on the article's talk page. – ukexpat (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; I will respond to the content issues raised on my talk page there.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 21:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
