Talk:Psion (company)

message: There are two broad problems I see with this article - there is an overly promotional tone to much of it, making claims such as 'revolutionary' / 'world's first' etc; also, much of the early history relies on just one source, which itself doesn't actually cite any references. Whilst some of that *could* be verified elsewhere, statements such as the origin of the company's name are unverifiable and thus not encyclopaedic.Star-one (talk) 15:45, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Disputed neutrality / overly promotion / sources

message: I have a slight feeling this page should become a disambiguation page, with the current content here moved to (say) Psion PLC. Any views on this? Cheers --Pak21 08:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, yes ;) There are procedures for everything here! see WP:MOVE. No worries though, I'll find someone to fix it :) -Quiddity 01:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Change to disambiguation page?

message: The project to port Linux to the Series 5 was originally known as the linux-7110 project, and was started by the open source community (specifically as a Red Hat employee's personal project), *not* Psion.  Here's the announcement for the project:
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=98/03/17/091500
Psion had minimal direct involvement with the project (eventually providing a few pages of low-level hardware information); in many respects, Psion was probably more pushed into it by Geofox freely providing their hardware information and a loaner Geofox One for the project's use.
The Linux-7110 project's website and mailing list moved from Red Hat to calcaria.net some months later as the Red Hat employee that started the project lacked the time to keep things going.
Doing a bit of searching for terms like "linux-7110" and "redhat" should point you at documents showing the project as being hosted there originally.  I've not been able to find the archive for Red Hat's linux-7110 list, though if you search for linux-7110@redhat.com you'll see many hits indicating it did exist...
:Well, I wouldn't say "rife" with errors...the one issue here is the precise origins of the project.  The references suggest Psion's involvement, at least at the get-go, and certainly later on with the netBook Pro.  See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bdushaw/OpenPsion for the archived article on the subject that got deleted (not notable...don't get me started...there was a better, later version of the article, but I didn't archive it in time).  I could be wrong, but to me the references suggested Psion's involvement and support at least at the start, though they seemed to fairly quickly have wandered away, true.  I should transfer some of the references over.  (I think one of the reasons the article got deleted was that there was only me editing the thing...)  Bdushaw 16:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be precise, in reference 2:  The Calcaria Linux 7k project or Linux CL-PS7110, as RedHat initially called it, is currently in development stage. The project has the support of Psion and according to Psion's technology strategist Andrew Till, "there's a very good chance the mobile version of Linux will get a Bluetooth implementation."  (When I started writing this article, this quote surprised me.)  Bdushaw 16:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I think I now see what your concerns were - I've edited the section again to be perhaps more accurate...but I've been desperate for other editors...hint, hint... :)  Bdushaw 16:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  interview with Psion staffer 

message: Psion and Psion teklogix are the same company.  The Teklogix was dropped from the name in January 2011.
Therefore, these are duplicate articles.  'Psion and the term Netbook' section and  'Psion and Linux' section are duplicated in Psion Teklogix article, as well as other information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmcfarland27 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Create three separate articles underneath a disambiguation page? One article each for the two separate companies prior to their merger ending at that point, and a third article about the merged company starting from that point (but still referencing the parent articles)?Star-one (talk) 15:49, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'll try and do something about splitting and content-editing some time during the next couple of weeks or so. Star-one (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

text:  For instance EPOC (operating_system) is something notable created by the previously existing Psion.  I would maybe only keep the historic aspects of Psion on that page and remove things related to Teklogix.  As it currently stands, they are the same, but it was not always so.  I think the page will be too cumbersome as a topic if you detail all of this. 216.94.244.179 (talk) 19:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Comment - if Psion moves then Psion (disambiguation) should move over the baseline. J/psi meson doesn't even mention "Psion" in the article. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:36, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  What you seem to be saying is that you support the move itself but would prefer the #Alternative proposal below regarding the resulting redirect and consequent move of the DAB. Could you indicate this (either way) explicitly in the relevant section? Andrewa (talk) 19:11, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: From the survey above: The physics topic is also not the primary topic. It's most likely the type of fictional character, a person with psionic abilities.
The Dab currently  lists five relevant articles:
* Psion (Dungeons & Dragons), a character class in Dungeons & Dragons
* Psion (Saga of the Skolian Empire), telepaths in the Saga of the Skolian Empire novels
* Psion (comics), an alien race in stories from DC Comics
* a person with psionic ability in Psionics
* a character with psionics in role-playing games
and I'm a little amazed at the suggestion that these, even taken together, would rival the psi-meson in long-term significance. Andrewa (talk) 19:23, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
