It is clear that many of the 1000s of piecemeal edits made over recent years have not really been an improvement. Sensible changes are often overwritten, and the article has never attained any sort of stability or sustained improvement. So it seems that a different approach is required, if coverage of this important topic is to be at least adequate.

== Help: reference to add ==

There is a section on this page without a citation and where I think that some illustrative information from ''[[The_Mobile_Wave:_How_Mobile_Intelligence_Will_Change_Everything|The Mobile Wave]]'' would be useful to add. I won't add the book as a reference since I work at MicroStrategy, the company founded by the book's author and I'm here on behalf of the company. I've given the citation below and details of new information to add to the "Characteristics" section.

Any editor who can help here would be appreciated. Also, let me know if there are any other pages where info from the book can be added if it provides new, helpful details. Thanks, --[[User:Rkrueger|Rkrueger]] ([[User talk:Rkrueger|talk]]) 17:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

== Edited History Section ==

I came across a blog post that talked about things that cloud computing consist of today. The blog was dated in December of 2007. I feel the writer should be credited for his work here. Since it predates some of the other history in cloud computing. The blog post could have caused inspiration to other developers in Cloud Computing. The blog that I'm referring to can be found at one of two locations.

:Can you provide any sources that this blog or it's writer had some specific impact on the history of cloud computing? Your personal opinion that it 'Could have caused inspiration' is not very strong justification for this being in the article. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 11:24, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately no I can't provide any other information other then I did see the blog post and it's date. Which I felt was decent enough. Mainly because it Cloud Services such as Google Drive have pretty much merged many services mentioned in the blog together to create a cloud computing environment. Could just have been coincidental or foresite. But I thought the date would have sufficed. Sorry for any coomplications....
