This is pathetic that an employee is able to spam Wiki with company spin to promote their website. They are not a legitimate company, rather they make their living off of aggregating people's personal information they obtain and blasting it out on the web for anyone to read. A simple Google search reveals how many angry consumers there are regarding their shady and questionable business practices. To allow a company minion the ability to use this site to promote themselves, all the while ignoring the legitimate criticism that has been leveled at them by objective sources elsewhere does the public a great disservice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.121.19.252 (talk) 20:53, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Graphiq. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add ((cbignore))
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add ((nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot))
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I guess I'm the first and only so far to respond to the undated-at-inception WP:PROD. The link within the lengthy template at the head of the article goes to the same generic PROD link and has no info about what to do to respond. There's a typo also in the statement in the template-header which further put me off up front. More substantively SwisterTwister, while it seems on further look to be a good faith challenge, it just seems way too drastic. Fights about it have been going on since its start in 2012, including a wp:COI challenge and blockage that's been resolved to the blocker's satisfaction at User_talk:Evanthomas1, the ed. who started the article. It's been improving. Plus, for me: (a) It has at least one major credential with DoubleClick. (b) I found the article via one of the many sites the company maintains -- mooseroots.com, encountered at random in my last edit, traced via the footer there to Graphiq -- and have now upgraded the Graphiq article to include its many current sites including Mooseroots.com. (MooseRoots has a redirect here already-- thanks to the NPOV ed. -- it's turned out but now at least the '.com' will show up in a Wiki search, too.) (c) At Fox News via a quick Google search I just found the Graphiq graphic "Undocumented Immigrant Population by State". Maybe it's junk (at worst) but it's out there and if Wiki wants to help users understand what's in their world it has to be here; improving. All told, Delete? No. I would be inclined to restore the template ((NPOV)) that was placed in Nov. 2015 and removed, without mention in an Edit summary, sometime since; if it seems to fit. Cheers.

Ps: I hadn't see the above discussions about the initial COI when I wrote my response here and I still haven't read it in any detail. If it still seems relevant to the present proposal I hope it will be cited. I know from a glimpse 'pathetic' and even 'spam' doesn't seem necessary and/or appropriate to me. The work seems to have been good faith if not ultimately maybe fully allowed, as the conditional and maybe now unconditional unblocking of the editor would seem to indicate.

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Jonnymoon96 (talk) 21:41, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
I see that Amazon bought https://www.graphiq.com a year ago. I don't know how long this has been going on, but today all of the vertical search engines listed at the bottom of that link display:
This site is no longer available. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I know it was working on February 21. The most recent news link in Google is http://www.news.ucsb.edu/2018/018743/more-problems-more-opportunity
Anyone know what's going on? 174.198.14.130 (talk) 20:48, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
