Line 1: {{atnhead}} == Wikipedia is not a national encyclopedia == Line 117 ⟶ 119: **When this particular page was first posted on Wikipedia (19 Feb 2002), it stated "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Here is a list of Things That Encyclopedia Articles Are Not." With that in mind, a reference to and explanation of "Wikipedia:Ownership of articles" is appropriate. [[User:Kingturtle\|Kingturtle]] 03:17, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC) *I don't see how the content of the original page is relevant. The page has clearly changed since then. Also, you'll notice that all the other descriptions are "Wikipedia is not [noun]", not "Wikipedia is not [verb]". "owned by a particular user" is not a thing. - anthony **[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not\|Wikipedia is not]] a lot of things. Not all of those need to be listed here.

Has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not&diff=2918876&oldid=2918856 this] really ever come up? -- [[User:VeryVerily\|V]][[User talk:VeryVerily\|V]] 06:00, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC) Line 124 ⟶ 126: Recently pages like [[List of Sony products]] and individual products of IBM and Sony like [[Sony Ericsson P900]] have been listed on Vfd with the assumption that Wikipedia is not a product catalog. Which of the 20 points of this page suggest that Wikipedia should not contain products-related info ? Will creating articles out of products/lists make wikipedia less of an encyclopedia ? [[User:Jay\|Jay]] 18:37, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC) I would say that Wikipedia is not paper and a good article on these products is not inherently wrong - [[User:Texture\|Tεx]][[User Talk:Texture\|<~~font~~span ~~color~~style="color:red;">τ</~~font~~span>]][[User:Texture\|urε]] 19:19, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC) * I've just added some info to the P900 page, I don't think [i]all[/i] products deserve a page but for advanced products such as leading edge smartphones it makes sense to me. In a few years people will be wanting to track the development of these devices like it happened for the early home computers etc. Just my 2 cents.
