Talk:Motorola i920/i930

This Smartphone Article will be heavily moderated to ensure it adheres to Wikipedia Standards. Also, I renamed the article Motorola i930 because it may be used in either the Nextel or Southern Linc Network.

Please read this discussion page very carefully as it has some important pointers that might clear up a couple of issues you might have with Wikipedia. The Rules/Clauses of Conduct and the Civility Policy Pages clearly states what can be done and what can't be done here in Wikipedia, so I highly suggest that you read these pages before you even start editing.

IMPORTANT: Some additional FAQs

My purpose of adding this onto the Talk Page was meant more to clarify some issues. Because I have seen some vandalism on this article, I had no choice but to lock the article up until August 31, Central Daylight Time, in order to curb Vandalism and willful deletions of credible material not on just this Wikipedia article, but all of them.

Although Wikipedia is a community which people are entitled to edit and/or create, there are rules to ensure that Wikipedia remains a neutral, PG-Friendly community. Therefore, the only edits permitted in Wikipedia are the following:

• Only relevant talk to whatever the article is about and/or a particular product, subject, etc. is permitted on Wikipedia grounds
• Each article has to have either a See Also section (Either a See Also, Related Articles, etc.), and a Works Cited page (External Links, Works Cited, Resources). If there are print resources that you are deriving the information from, then the print resources must be cited on the article. Wikipedia does not tolerate plagiarism, so keep that in mind.
• Observe Wikipedia's Neutrality commitment. This is very important here in Wikipedia as we have people with different points of view.
• Give credit where it's due
• As a general rule, submitting copyrighted images is a no-no unless you are given explicit permission to post it here in Wikipedia.
• There will be times when a Wikipedia article will be locked in order to keep the article under control.
• You should not be editing and/or playing with the article page unless you have anything credible to add.

Wikipedia does not, in addition to the basic forbidden elements as described in the Wikipedia Conduct and Civility Clause pages, permit in under any circumstances, the following:

• Hitting the Edit button and enter some sort of text that is fun to enter and/or just to test to make sure that your ability to edit any article in Wikipedia works, which is known to me as, "Article-Crapping"
• Any language that bears any sexually-explicit references
• Willful purge of any information credible and/or vital to a particular article here in Wikipedia. I have seen two instances where this one same user purged a good amount of information on this page alone.
• Thinking that Editing is fun by adding genital-reference words like "Penis" or "Vagina", which is called "Integrity Crapping" (added 25September2005)
• Any other activity deemed detrimental as per the Mediawiki/Wikipedia community.

Nextel aficionados are encouraged to edit this page, however, I should point out that it should be edited in standard English, instead of trying to plunge the article to an unneutral point of view.

Like I said, the Rules/Clauses of Conduct and the Civility Policy Pages clearly states what can be done and what can't be done here in Wikipedia, so I highly suggest that you read this before you even start editing.

Also, please DO ask questions at the Help Desk or at the Village Pump. — Vesther 17:12, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Chit-chat style edits

Chit-chat style edits belong to the Sandbox. Any chit-chat style edits caught in ANY Wikipedia article will be purged/reverted back to the last good edit at will.

Trying to avoid vandalism here in Wikipedia, articles tend to be observed very carefully to ensure that each article adheres to Wikipedia rules. Be VERY TOUCHY about what you say in an edit if you are afraid of having the edit reverted.

Yesterday, I have seen some sort of chit-chat style edit on this Motorola i930 article here in Wikipedia, and just a reminder, please keep your edits ON TOPIC and within Wikipedia borders. Like I said, chit-chat needs to be placed on the Sandbox and not on any article or its related discussion pages.

So from now on, keep Chit-Chat style edits at the Wikipedia Sandbox and out of the articles and its related discussion pages. Chit-chat edits that occur either on the article itself and its related discussion pages are on dangerous grounds. — Vesther 17:06, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Criticism Section

There is a long list of "groups" of people who have criticised this phone, apparantly even before it is available for sale. I am wondering about the source of these statements. In particular, it surprises me that a group of amputees have criticized this phone for not having bluetooth capability. It may be true - I can see how bluetooth might be valuable to an amputee. Even if it is true it would be more appropriate to cite the specific group, and not make it seem as though all amputees anywhere in the world have criticized this phone. Can the claims that these groups have criticized the phone be substantiated? We need to remember to cite our sources. Johntex 22:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

The two links of Interest as far as criticisms are concerned are iDEN Custom and iDEN Insider, with more on the way. I'm gonna have to remove the "Amputees" from the list of criticisers until a citation can be cited. — Vesther 14:37, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Uncivilized Language (FINAL PUBLIC WARNING)

This is NOT A JOKE nor it's funny. It IS a violation of Wikipedia policy. I have seen many vandalizations on this article for as long as I have kept my eyes on this article. Any uncivilized edits and/or inappropriate editing (such as "Suck a Penis", etc.) will be dealt with harshly. I'm not going to warn and/or chew any vandals today but this is the only warning to those who thinks that editing is something funny, as I am not as forgiving as the Wikipedia Administrators/SysOps are. This is the final public warning I will give to those who thinks that putting crap like "Suck a Penis" is fun and/or funny. I don't want to see it. The next time I see any of that, I will brand any "Genitalia Posters" as instant vandals. No exceptions, no excuses, no if's, and's, or buts. I mean it. This article has been grievously been beaten up to death, and from this point on, the rules will be enforced HARSHLY. — Vesther 02:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
