Phoenix Labs Wikipedia Page request edit
Hi there!
I'm wondering if someone could help me with getting some edits applied to this page: [[1]] I represent the current Phoenix Labs (we're an independent video game developer based in Canada) and we have all legal rights to the company name, but I am unsure as to how to apply edits to this page as the former Phoenix Labs should likely be kept as either a disambiguation or a "Phoenix Labs (former)"
Would someone be willing to assist me with getting our presence properly added to this wikipedia entry?
 | It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at D. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

Thanks so much for your help. Let me know if you have any questions.

Not done I would not modify the Phoenix Labs page, as that refers to something completely different from your company, whether or not you "own the name" (meaningless), unless you purchased the company referred to by Phoenix Labs. It would certainly be inappropriate to move the current page to Phoenix Labs (former), as that is 1.) not descriptive and 2.) probably not even accurate. I'm personally not convinced that either company is notable under WP:GNG. If the other company is deleted as non-notable and is defunct, I doubt it will ever become notable, whereas your company may well become notable if it ends up meeting the general notability guidelines. In that case, your company's page will likely be located at Phoenix Labs. If both are notable, then we'd probably put your page at Phoenix Labs (video game studio) with a hatnote on the current page. If your page is the much more popular search term, then we'd probably want to switch them around per WP:2DAB.
- Honestly, best of luck with your company. If you are interested in helping Wikipedia's coverage of your company in the future, keeping a list of press coverage you get would probably be very useful to future editors when they are looking for citations (either to prove notability or to verify factual statements). Independent, secondary sources are crucial to Wikipedia's verifiability. 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 19:31, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Engineering job openings at WMF
Hi, There are currently some job openings in a few of the WMF's Engineering teams, that I thought might be of interest to someone here, or you might know someone to nudge. Hope that helps. :) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 01:54, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Help with an article?
I'm not exactly sure where to ask for help with this, but I've been helping an editor (@Drcarver:) with an article concerning CoSign by ARX. He's been pretty diligent about looking for sources but I'm not entirely certain about everything. I figured that it'd be best to get someone a little more savvy with computers and digital technology as a whole to take a look over the article and see what they think. Anyone up for it? You can find the article at User:Drcarver/CoSign by ARX. Do any of you think that this is ready for the mainspace? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:21, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Unique Identifier Header
Hello, I found this article on UIDH, a tracking bug insterted to HTTP headers by internet providers like Verizon. Can you make an article on it? --NaBUru38 (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Surely this edit is too promotional, and reads like a blatant advertisement? --benlisquareT•C•E 19:00, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
I created this stub, and people are looking at the article (60hitsperday or so). does anyone want to tackle expanding it? i dont seem to have the drive to do that, and i dont normally write computer articles.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
