Old Input Focus - article from over a year ago that may or may not be fixed and may or may not have ever existed. The "fix" given is to close the window, which isn't that great of a fix anyway.--Np 02:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Article/Express_Computer_._Which_browser_should_you_use?_._July_2004 Article/Netcraft_._Will_Firefox_repeat_Netscape's_mistakes?_._July_26,_2004

These articles are empty, and seem like they were outdated marketing fluff. I can understand links to promotional materials such as buttons etc. at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Marketing:Firefox_Materials but not this type of article. Didn't we try to get rid of these articles beforehand? I noticed them only because somebody created a marketing category and assigned them to it. Tanstaafl 00:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Marketing - It links to two empty articles plus one of the material projects. If we need to provide links to sites such as Firefox materials, Thunderbird materials, Sunbird materials etc. I think a better solution would be to have a single article called Marketing that points to each applications material web site plus community web sites such as http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ . My concern is that this category is going to become a haven for all sorts of outdated marketing fluff. Let the web sites that specialize in marketing do all of the marketing.

I noticed we also have a Firefox_Materials , Seamonkey_Materials , Thunderbird_Materials , Sunbird_Materials, Camino_Materials and Mozilla_Materials article each of which has no (real) category and is redirected to http://mozilla.wikia.com/wiki/Marketing:Mozilla_Materials . That seems like the only people who could find those articles already know how to find the web site, so its not clear what purpose they serve. I suggest they be deleted too. If thats not acceptable it would seem to make more sense to rename Firefox_Materials to Firefox Marketing and add it to Category:Firefox etc. so that somebody who doesn't know the magic word (materials) could either stumble across it when browsing the Firefox articles or find it via searching for marketing.
