message: :Image:FalconNwLogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Out of date 

message: I'm Kelt Reeves, president of Falcon Northwest Computer Systems. With the help of David King at Ethical Wiki ()
, I'm sharing a draft  of proposed revisions to the page to correct outdated and incorrect company and product information. The draft includes updated and enumerated citations.  The draft adds a history section, and I've uploaded current product images to Wikimedia Commons.
Seraphimblade - You've previously expressed concerns on the current page and are still active, so if you would be so kind as to review the draft and keep me honest I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!

replies: text: Kelt contacted me about this because I wrote the article on the 1951 Nimrod computer, which is a bit of a weak connection but whatever. I don't have much personal interest in Falcon Northwest or prebuilt computers in general, gaming or otherwise, but I am mildly interested in ethical CoI editing. So: as a general remark, the current article is pretty bad- it's a fluffy advertisement with poor sourcing. Kelt's draft is much better. That alone is worth swapping it in. I've done some cleanup work on top of it as well, though, mainly around dating the reviews. The article still isn't great- it isn't clear what specific products FN sells (beyond expensive computers with a few named), and reception is a bit scattershot and focused on the last couple of years, but it is a lot better than the current state. --PresN 01:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sharing the draft proposed page revision 

message: The article previously said our computers cost "$1,500 to $10,000." Without providing a citation to back it up, an IP editor recently changed the article to say our computers cost "$1,500 to $27,000." However, a closer look at
the cited source shows it actually says "prices can reach over $10,000" not up to $10,000 as inferred by the original Wikipedia text. I would like to request changing it to "$1,500 to $10,000 or more." Kelt at Falcon (talk) 20:05, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  recent edit 

message: Hi. I am the founder/CEO of Falcon Northwest and therefore have a conflict of interest. The current Reception section hasn't been updated since 2018 and therefore doesn't cover any of the company's current products. I'd like to propose a small addition to add recent product reviews that cover current products. I've prepared a draft as follows:
In 2022, PC Magazine reviewed the Falcon Northwest FragBox, Talon, and Tiki. In each case, the reviewer gave the Falcon Northwest computer a 4.5 out of 5 rating. The reviewer said the computer had good performance, low noise, and good builds, but explained Northwest did not have any budget-friendly options.

replies: text: Tweaked the wording some, but yeah, that seems reasonable. I'm not going to go looking for other reviews to make sure that PCMag is representative, but it's a reasonable review outlet if you're only going to have one, and nothing about it seems out of line with my understanding of how the products are viewed in the market. --PresN 00:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
