Digital HiNote[edit]

Hey @DigitalIceAge! Thanks a lot for improving the article about the Digital HiNote, it looks way better now. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PhotographyEdits You're welcome, thanks for making it! I think the factoid about the MacBook Air advertisement would make a good entry in the front page "Did you know..." section, if you don't mind proposing it. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @DigitalIceAge, I just did that Template:Did you know nominations/Digital HiNote here! PhotographyEdits (talk) 21:10, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good @PhotographyEdits! I proposed an alternate hook with an image. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@PhotographyEdits Also gave IBM Palm Top PC 110 a spruce-up. (Not stalking you I promise, I just happned to come across that article at the same time ;) DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DigitalIceAge That's really great, well done! And that's not a problem at all, feel free to look through my created articles and other contributions and improve stuff. For example, some time ago I was trying to get the Canon Notejet to GA status, but was unable to find sources for the missing stuff that was said here: Talk:Canon_NoteJet. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good! NoteJets are so awesome, I hope I come across one that's reasonably priced at a flea market soon... I'll see what I can do with the article. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With vs with[edit]

Good you caught that. I literally didn't notice even after you did it. It has always been lower-case w, but I never noticed. The only lingering issue, if any, is the capitalization and wording of of the DYK template. Coretheapple (talk) 22:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • No problem, I fixed the DYK nom too. It can be tricky when the works cited all have their own style guides, I've learned. Some keep short prepositions lowercase, some keep all prepositions lowercase, some capitalize the first letter of every word regardless. And then you have phrasal verbs, infinitive vs. preposition to, preposition vs. adverb like... it never ends. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a draft improvement help[edit]

Greetings @ DigitalIceAge

I am User:Bookku usually I work on information and knowledge gap areas and promote my and other's drafts and articles for improvement and expansion as needed.

If you remember recently I had visited an article contributed by you MicroOffice RoadRunner as a reader.

Coincidentally today I came across an article Draft:D-Agree seems to be written by a phd scholar User:Jawad Haqbeen. (I did not know user, topic and draft previously and hence no coi)

Please see if you can do encyclopedic notability review and help in further draft improvement if you find interested in.

thanks and warm regards

Hello Bookku,
Greetings from Japan.
This is Jawad Haqbeen, an assistant professor at Kyoto University.
Thanks a lot for improving and suggesting to improve the article Draft:D-Agree.
Could you please help us to fix the issues, and resubmit the draft.
Sincerely,
Jawad, Jawad Haqbeen (talk) 07:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Bookku and Jawad Haqbeen: It seems there's already an article on D-Agree? I just moved it from D-Agree Afghanistan since the subject of that article (judging from the lead) is about the service itself and not just its deployment in Afghanistan. Anyway the subject is outside my expertise unfortunately, and I don't know a lick of Japanese so I couldn't be of much help verifying text-source integrity and whatnot. I would recommend finding some generalist sources for both the draft and the mainspace article at D-Agree (newspapers, magazines, mainstream blogs). Best of luck!

Question about a template you used[edit]

Greetings DigitalIceAge and again thank you for reviewing Tenta, Cyprus.

I noticed that you used Template:Visible anchor in your edit there – could you explain to me what that does? And also, I was confused because upon reading the description, it said "This template should not be used within section headings." Isn't this how you used it? So yeah, I haven't seen that before and hope you could give me some pointers (I'm still learning about a lot of technical aspects). -- LordPeterII (talk) 11:15, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a habit of mine to add anchors to parent headings when I remove a subheading, for the sake of wikilinks and redirects which might #link to it. I thought I was being elegant with the visible anchor ("name" would be highlighted in blue when #Name is in the URL), but since it's counter to the template's documentation I replaced it with a standard {{anchor}}.

That one DYK nom[edit]

Hey DigitalIceAge,

just wanted to say I'm sorry that your article has gotten such weird reviews. I thought about reviewing myself after all; but unfortunately I feel that at this point, it would look as though I was making a point in "overruling" other editors. I still hope you can get a fair review (which, like, points out at least some examples of what's wrong), since you've obviously have had some before for the other company noms. But if not, you could always go to WP:GA and get this article reviewed. Once it passes as a good article, no one can really still claim it was in need of WP:TNT. But ofc that would mean a lot of extra work, and idk if you are interested in that. So yeah good luck, and I'm sorry I can't help you more :/ –LordPickleII (talk) 07:42, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, LordPeterII, I appreciate the kind words. I understand the apprehension around articles on corporations given the epidemic of poorly written ones from conflicts of interest, but I think the revulsion to that article is a bit kneejerk. If it still fails I will consider GA. DigitalIceAge (talk)

An Apology[edit]

Hey DigitalIceAge, I'm sorry about my revert on the Ninja Master's article, I was a dumbass and not reading clearly. JCW555 (talk)♠ 05:49, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries JCW555. I should have used {{Distinguish}} in the first place, as the {{For}} template as I was using it gave the impression that the '86 game was related to Ninja Masters. DigitalIceAge (talk) 06:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oak Industries[edit]

Noted your edit to ON TV (TV network)...is this a company you plan on writing up? Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 00:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly! There's a decent paper trail for Oak Industries on the first page of a Google search... Chicago Tribune, WSJ, LA Times. My knowledge of ON TV isn't as sharp as yours, limited to a skim of the article and an episode of Oddity Archive, though funnily enough I actually do own an ONTV box myself! DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:51, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! What market is it from? Oak ended its life being sold to Corning Industries. It has quite a wild history, all things considered, and I would not mind collaborating on it; ON TV itself is one article away from a Good Topic. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 07:04, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, and for nearly $2 billion. Weird how they've never had so much as a redirect (well they did have an article, briefly, before being speedied for suspected WP:PROMO). The company was originally in the radio business, I believe. It has a very storied history, kind of intimidating TBH but there's some good sources out there in Gale and ProQuest. One of them points to a Harvard case study, which is annoyingly paywalled. I might just create a barebones outline of sorts for you to expand since it's a bit outside my wheelhouse. DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That would be good. I can put meat on the bones of the late 70s/80s stuff pretty quickly. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 21:58, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sammi Brie: The beginnings of the Oak Industries article is now finished! Holy hell that was more work than I expected. The company, it turns out, was massive and more diversified than even television (I'm now learning they had a electrolytic capacitor division?! nope, just copper foil. Still interesting), and by ProQuest's count there are over 1,700 articles that at least mention the company (God knows how many hits are on Newspaper.com). How it escaped this long without an article is beyond me, but I guess that's recentism for you. Have a merry expansion! DigitalIceAge (talk) 04:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much, @DigitalIceAge! This would make a good DYK and—ideally—GA to bring up together. My head is a bit glazed over (came to this from working on another big article), but I'm really excited. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 06:51, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sammi Brie: I agree it would be a great DYK—and I feel you with the headspace thing! I'm just now noticing some syntax errors on my part. I may have to distance myself from the article for a day to come at it from a refreshed perspective. This topic is definitely a deep dive. On the plus side the Encyclopedia.com link in the External links section is a paraphrase of this FundingUniverse article, which is a reprint of a legit book, so there's another good resource for filling a lot of the gaps in coverage. DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ready to nominate this for DYK, I think. Might want to do another look-through at copy; I have added a fair bit. This company was a ride. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 22:16, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll say! I'm going to expand it a bit with the encyclopedia source and then copyedit afterward. DigitalIceAge (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Imagine trying to explain what this company did to people... Stove components, crystals, railway maintenance, energy management, ON TV, tuning dials, Bakelite, lasers... By the way, feel free to co-nominate this for GA at your convenience. I have a fair number of pending GANs (and a massive backlog of pages to nominate), so I'd prefer if you started the nomination. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:00, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sammi Brie: Tuning dials with frickin' laser beams! And I will consider nominating it for GA. :) DigitalIceAge (talk) 04:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I found a bit more material. Oak Communications became TV/COM International, which Hyundai purchased in 1995. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, by the way, OakGrigsby continued as a Corning subsidiary, so clearly Oak did not sell it off. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 16:09, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just 86'ed that sentence in the article. I figured the divisions not listed in the acquisition announcement sources had been liquidated but apparently not. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:39, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
