The content of the Computer valetingComputer valeting page was merged into Computer maintenance on 2016-07-19, and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article, please see its history.

This article needs to be rewritten because it's tone is inappropriate. The "User dirt" section in particluar is written like a how-to in second-person. Marašmusïne_Talk 13:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search for "computer valeting" turns up an awful lot of links to a company called CompuClean -- which, perhaps not coincidentally, is the name of the originator of this article. Is computer valeting really a notable procedure that belongs in Wikipedia, or is it a new service introduced by this company and written up here in a bid for legitimacy? I would be happy to attempt a rewrite, but only if this is actually a page worth maintaining and not a marketing ploy and candidate for deletion. ShaneCarey 17:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I first saw this article, I thought it may have been an advertising attempt, but I know that several other companies have a service called 'computer valet' (PC World (retailer)'s The Tech Guys, for example.) It may be better to incorporate this subject in a larger article on computer servicing in general. Marasmusine 18:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attempted rewrite. As I am not a computer valet, I hope that I did the service justice by reusing the information that was available. I stopped trying to avoid the passive because nothing active sounded encyclopedic to me, so perhaps this rewrite needs a rewrite. It also needs a category -- perhaps I didn't think of the right keywords, but I was unable to find a category or even a page on computer maintenance (and I don't consider myself the right guy to start one, though I'd be happy to help merge this into it at some point).

Better; less of a how-to guide. I don't think there is an article on computer maintainance. It's often interesting to start an article on something you know little about, as it forces you to use references, per WP:V policy. May have a crack at it at some point.
