Hyperloop Transportation Technologies

Hello SS, I read your edits to HTT and Hyperloop. My personal assessment is that you are completely correct. For all the best reasons, you question the hyperbolic assertions that hyperloop is new and successful. In the world of Wikipedia, that qualifies as WP:Synthesis. You'll need to find a press report that supports your sensible analysis. The problem is that until the public is asked to contribute money, most of what you'll read is the breathless reporting of sycophants. It's no fun to write a disparaging article about a speculative technology. I took a different tack, which was not reversed. I listed the promises HTT has made along with the projected dates. HTT, in particular, is a scam whose longevity astounds me. They make an animation or plywood mockup and call it success. Then they traipse around the world signing letters of intent that have no teeth. For the two principals and their PR agent, it's a career.

The alternate view of this industry is that it has a marketing approach that simply promises revolution rather than evolutionary development. All of their design elements are inevitable, just not simultaneously. Sure, subways will get better, but telling people that speeds will increase three percent per year is not near as exciting as a leap to trans-sonic speeds. It's simply a marketing tactic, not an engineering strategy. The public buys this science fiction. It is as much gaslighting as climate change denial.

Disambiguation link notification for April 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Quarter Circle A Ranch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Russell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Properly describing marriage, divorce, remarriage, 2nd divorce, and new marriage.

Hello! In the info box provided for a biography, how would one designate the occurrence of two marriages of the same persons with a divorce in between and subsequent marriage to a new wife for the subject of the Wiki article? Thank you! Meanwhile, I will search wiki for possible examples such as Richard Burton/ Elizabeth Taylor and others...

Oko Drammeh moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Oko Drammeh, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~Styyx^Talk? 00:44, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SmartScience. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Oko Drammeh".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sani Abdul-Jabbar

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sani Abdul-Jabbar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Mooonswimmer 21:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
