Segway

Hi, now that Segway is a disambiguation page, could you help us clean up the resulting mis-directed links per WP:FIXDABLINKS? Navigation popups with the popupFixDabs flag set to true is a big help. Thanks, --JaGa^talk 16:24, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Please note that this page was previously a disambiguation page at various in the past and also (ignoring vandalism) a redirect to Segue, so I am reverting it to what it had been a few times in the past, but with the addition of more notes to clarify the various "Segway" related topics, as well as the homophone of segue from which, apparently, the name Segway was derived.

Will try to do as requested, but will need a few days before I have time to explore these links. Actually, I was already thinking to create a page for Segway Inc. by cleaving content from this page that more properly belongs on the corporate page and filling in gaps regarding other products, markets and technology aside and above the most popular consumer model, the Segway PT (formerly Segway HT).

CoolReader listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect CoolReader. Since you had some involvement with the CoolReader redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Fleet Command (talk) 03:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

I'm sending this out to all who could be interested:

Three of Wikimedia Canada's executive will be available to meet with Wikipedians at Benny's Bagels, 2505 West Broadway, Vancouver from 5:00 pm onward. There is no formal agenda for this meeting. The executive will be mostly interested in hearing the ideas of Wikipedians, but will also be talking about their own experiences. This includes some very positive results about work with the GLAM sector.

You provide a time and a place, but no date :| Is this every day, any day or a specific day?

For me, this week would be tough.

Proposed deletion of 282 MEP

The article 282 MEP has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references, non-notable

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Citation templates

You need to discuss it at Wikipedia talk:Citation templates to determine whether the information can reasonably be restructured, or another alternative page created, to make it easier to use. My personal interest in the matter begins and ends with the fact that your page, whether needed or not, was not in the correct namespace and could not just be moved into projectspace in its existing form as there's already a page at that same projectspace title. You'd be much better off discussing it with the people who are involved in maintaining the current citation templates page than with me.

And just so you know, the content hasn't been lost -- it's still present in the edit history, so if you're able to get a consensus to merge your content into the existing page or to create a new one in the correct namespace, then you can simply go back into the history to retrieve it.

Speedy deletion nomination of SIM2 Multimedia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SIM2 Multimedia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - MrX ^(TALK) 01:30, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps you did not read the talk page?!? This may not have been a thesis, but the company is notable for its technical innovations, even if not a mass market company. Wikipedia is a reference source, not a mirror of Google. Enquire (talk) 09:33, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I deleted it. Even before the question of whether it is notable according to WP:ORG, it doesn't even show any indication that it might be of any importance at all. You say "it is (however) notable in the development of next generation video projections technologies" -- that needs something beyond the bare assertion to show it's a realistic claim. And if its products are not yet in use, but will be only in the next generation, perhaps it is not yet notable.

As you should know by now, notability requires references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. For companies producing products, the usual sources are product reviews--and the question will be whether it yet makes anything that has reached that sstage. But even to pass A7 you have to say more than that its a company that does something. Is it a leader in its industry, for example? And then to stay in Wikipedia, it will have to actually show that with 3rd party references.

Normally, I would remove the redirect and links you inserted to that article, but I am holding off for a few days, in the hopes that you can write an article that will show importance.

BTW, I notice that you have written a series of articles on various Canadian and other technological companies of marginal notability , some of which have been deleted. I therefore must remind you of our provisions on WP:Conflict of Interest. DGG ( talk ) 09:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toronto Rocket (Toronto subway car), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bombardier (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I was double checking all the citations, several were to re-directs or bare urls, somehow this one passed me by (now fixed)... Enquire (talk) 07:31, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Golden Spike Company and AfD

Thank you for your kind words on the AfD in regards to the Golden Spike Company. I think ultimately this is going to be a major embarrassment to Wikipedia that this even happened, especially when you will have thousands of journalists who come looking to Wikipedia as a quick overview of the company and see that AfD plastered on the page announcing to the world that Golden Spike is a company of so little note that it deserves to be removed from Wikipedia.

This could have been handled better, and the guy who did the nomination is pretty much aware that he screwed up. Regardless, it does uncover how absurd the whole new page patrol system has become and some systemic problems with Wikipedia that I hope eventually get addressed. --Robert Horning (talk) 18:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
