 VeriSign was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

"Verisign's critics see this as disingenuous"
"There has been a storm of controversy among network operators and competing domain registrars, particularly on the influential NANOG and ICANN mailing lists...."

It would be good if we could actually name some influential people/entities that are critical of Verisign's move rather than have anonymity... would make the article more credible. Pete 13:54, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I added an Alexa source for the increase in popularity of verisign.com. Unfortunately the parsing of this URL is broken. Wikipedia developers know about the bug and call it the URL-in-URL bug. If anyone can figure out a work-around, go for it! Pete 10:23, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

test does this work : [1] -fonzy

indeed it does - fonzy

this also may work: [2] - fonzy

[edit] Jamster should have its own article

I'm not sure whether it previously had its own article but it should have one, even though it is owned by VeriSign. Taylor 1 July 2005 13:20 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism is confused and muddled

The criticism section makes it appear that the los of .org was somehow related to sitefinder which it was not, the loss of .org happened over a year earlier during the bidding round. The separate bids for .org, .net and .com were always intended to create competition so it was never very likely it would be retained. Also the .net contract was renewed this year.


[edit] Confused

After reading this article, I am a little confused about this bit:

In 2005, the company was responsible for the marketing of the Crazy Frog ring tone ("Axel F"), based on the heavily-played remix of "Axel F", known as the theme of Beverly Hills Cop. The advertisements for the tone, widely displayed on the media, were asserted to seriously mislead the target audience - children.

I have found an article here about it [3]. I deleted it because it is confusing and should really be in [Jamster]] and does not seem importamnt enough to be on this page.--Clawed 10:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Weblogs, Inc.

If we're talking about Jason Calacanis's blog network Weblogs, Inc., Verisign didn't buy it. AOL did. But is there another company with the same name?

[edit] Sorry for changing the page

I changed the first paragraph to "Verisign was written in perl, innit?" for about 3 seconds, then changed it back.

I was proving a point to a colleague.

Sorry if this bothered anyone. Ravsicle 23:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
