== Advertising ==

This article reads as a plain promo article about some set of speakers with overly detailed information. With the author massively waving with policies and canvassing all around, I have severe doubt that the author is truly independent and not an involved but undeclared employee. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">]&nbsp;]</span> 13:06, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

:The opinions are ''does sound somewhat promotional'' and ''the article is not so blatantly promotional as to be considered unsalvageable''. That means that they think the article '''is''' promotional but when you deliver an effort it can be saved. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">]&nbsp;]</span> 01:08, 6 April 2014 (UTC)<small>

Size of the picture

I have reduced the size of the picture (in fact, halved it). The main reason is that the picture was excessively big and taking the attention away from the text. As pictures in infoboxes are usually used to give a quick view of the subject, there is no need for this size. The present, 100 px, size is big enough to give readers a good view at the looks of the speakers. When they want more detail, they can double click on the picture for the full size.

Beside that, the big sized picture gave the article a promotional look. The Banner talk 20:33, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

200px is the size used in HTC One GA article. Dmatteng (talk) 15:36, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
