message: From WP:RM:
*X Prize Foundation → X PRIZE Foundation - according to their website, "X PRIZE" is the correct spelling. I can't move it myself because "X PRIZE Foundation" already exists as a redirect page. -- Hux 12:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This page is pretty shoddy, it could be a lot better than it is now.
So I'm going to start fixing it, little by little, together we can make a better wiki.
First things first, there's a lot of references to X PRIZEs which as Neier pointed out should really be X Prizes or prizes according to WP:MOSCAPS and WP:MOSTM.
A quick Ctrl+F will soon fix that.
Then I'll throw in a couple of SpaceShipOne pictures to pad it out and maybe the X Prixe Foundation logo...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.47.102 (talk) 20:40, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: What's the process for removing the "This page reads like an advertisement" tag at the top?
I've made a start at improving the page, making it read more like an encyclopedia and making it conform to Wiki's rules of style.
I reshuffled the pictures to give a more organic look to the page, the old layout seemed a bit forced.
And I renamed the sections to make it more professional looking and less like a school report.
It's a good start but it should probably be improved more before the tag is removed.
But what's the process for that?
Is it an appeals system with votes or admin decisions?
Or is it like removing a Stub tag, just remove it when you feel like it's no longer valid and if someone objects they'll put it back?81.152.183.89 (talk) 23:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The trustee names that are redlinked can probably stay, but we probably don't need a list of every single donor.  We should probably remove any donor names that are redlinked, unless we can put sources on the line to verify the information. --Elonka 23:47, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:UNDUE emphasis, I don't think there is much point in either list. deelete the lot, maybe leave CEO etc Greglocock (talk) 05:02, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since the leadership is more of a group effort, I think including some of the trustee names would be reasonable, especially because the majority seem to be notable folks in their own right.  Maybe shrink the list to a paragraph, and include only those names that we can confirm with sources are notable for their work with the X Prize Foundation?  As opposed to those names that are just helping out to be on the letterhead, but aren't actually doing anything? --Elonka 12:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Shrugs, if that is work you are happy to do. I just think that in a fairly short article devoting half or more of the screenspace to a list of frankly not very notable people (I just checked, I recognised just three names on the two lists) for the most part just seems the sort of detail that is unnecessary. It's not as if the entire boards of large companys are listed. Greglocock (talk) 03:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Redlinks

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :X Prize Foundation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "msnbc":
From Automotive X Prize: 
From WTN X Prize: 
From Richard Garriott: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:02, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:X Prize Foundation]] 

message: The list of past prizes is introduced with "As of August 2013, there are four past contests, three active and one canceled."  However, the counts seem incorrect:  There are four concluded (or "successful") prizes listed, on canceled, and four that are active.  (These counts match the list at the bottom of the Foundation's web site, so there aren't any prizes that aren't in the page's lists.)  Also the phrasing is somewhat confusing.  I want to change it to "As of June 2014, there were four successfully concluded prizes, one canceled prize, and four active prizes."  Does anyone see a reason not to?
