[edit] Jan. '07 Policy Changes/Arrests
I've started to add some information about the items appearing in the news today but only the articles I can cite directly from the internet. As a former employee of Neteller, I live in the very city where the North American branch of the company operates (and from which its founders hail); therefore, the news is rather glorified and explained in greater detail in local papers. Will add more later. --Randall00 Talk 02:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anonymous POV
Ok I'm not quite sure what the user at IP address 129.173.96.54 is trying to do - it looks like he/she wants to add some information about the company's technology processes, but the article is starting to sound like an ad.
I thought of reverting but then decided to leave it be. Could the user at 129.173.96.54 please explain his/her plans for this article? SmartGuy 20:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- At this point the changes are inappropriate POV, weirdly formatted and generally all should be reverted (there may be a useable fact in there somewhere) whenever the flurry of edits stops. 2005 21:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] recent updates
We are students trying to complete a class assignment to update Wikipedia. If you could please leave the work up there to allow our prof to grade our work that would be greatly appreciated. Then if you still feel that our work is still looking like and add then you can delete it if you see fit.
Thank you very much mbbs
- Please do not use the Wikipedia for a class project. Use the wikipedia sandbox for anything like that. Please do not edit this article again. 2005 01:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback, but however our information was correct information and should not be deleted. It was all legit from information we got from their website and put it into our own words. What was wrong with what we had???? It looked professional with great quality of information.
- "over the past years have proven to be one of the best in the field" is a point of view and inappropriate for any article. See Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view. Formatting is a mess, including the all caps affectation. "you" and "your" is a second person term that shouldn't be used. Again, there is a sandbox, and you even have a user page that you can experiment with. Please don't change this article again without consulting the various wikipedia guidelines in terms of style, structure and point of view. 2005 02:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
If you are students working on a class project, then I suggest that you complete the entire assignment before posting it. In other words, write the entire article, submit it to your professor in a Word document, then post it here for further editing. I'm not sure that I understand how your professor expects to grade something that is posted on the Wikipedia, as the project is open to editing by anyone. SmartGuy 13:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Me again - okay, I cleaned up the infobox and added it back to the article. I think these guys were really trying to add some useful info, so I started to pick through it to add back in the appropriate information. Then I got the feeling that I would just be doing someone's class assignment for them, which - ahem - I ain't gonna do. This article should be expanded though, since the infobox is now bigger than the body of the article itself, which I admit looks a bit goofy.
- I think the ideas were legit, though - does anybody know how to archive old edits? Would it be appropriate to just dump the info here on the talk page so others can add it to the article as they see fit? SmartGuy 13:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey SmartGuy, Its MBBS again. No worries on doing our project for us. We explained our sitaution to our prof she told us to pick a new article. We were new users to Wikipedia and we tried our best to program it. I have never used html or any type of programming before. However I do have information that I copied onto my computer. So if you want some info I can post it tomorrow.
Cheers mbbs
- "We explained our sitaution to our prof she told us to pick a new article." She still doesn't get it huh? Anything you post here can and most probably will be edited mercilessly. If she wants her students to use a wiki to do their homework, tell her to get the IT folks at school to install a wiki of their own. Mediawiki is free and you can even download a complete copy of Wikipedia free of charge. --kingboyk 11:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LAN
I've just rv'd the edits 129.173.136.82 and you made to LAN article. I think the trick in successfully doing what you are trying is to pick an article that *needs* work (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_Portal#Todo) and that you have a really good handle on. Most geographic areas have "stubs" lists like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nova_Scotia_geography_stubs which could be a good starting point. --Snori 18:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Company origin?
The article says Neteller is based in the Isle of Man. However, I'm pretty sure they didn't begin there. Where was the company founded? --kingboyk 11:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC) (don't tell me, please add it to the article)
