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?

" Phoenix Labs is a Canadian-based, independent video game developer founded 2014 by video game veterans Jesse Houston, Robin Mayne and Sean Bender. They are focused on highly connected, cooperative gameplay experiences that feature strong experiential narratives (1).

(1) - http://www.phxlabs.ca/press "


Our logo is also directly available on the site. Thanks so much for your help. Let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Jessie Gagnon, Writer + Communications, Phoenix Labs http://www.phxlabs.ca/

  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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

WikiProject X is live!

 

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
