message: Wikipedia article: Flux (software)
Look here: http://www.mediamachines.com/
Flux Player 2.0 and Flux Studio 2.0 are no longer beta and are now released in final version, that is freely downloadable for personal and academic use.
Tony Parisi is main developer of Labyrinth, WorldView and Flux. WorldView is by default available on Windows 2000 and Office 2000 CD's. That fact confirms Microsoft's promoting Tony Parisi's VRML/X3D line of software by default, making it factual standard for VRML/X3D, as Internet Explorer is factual standard for HTML. For reference look here: http://www.hoise.com/primeur/06/articles/monthly/AE-PR-10-06-9.html
Flux Studio imports and exports VRML and X3D successfully.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.19.52.107 (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed. Wikipedia articles are not:
* Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional). If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic, for example Nixon's Enemies List. Wikipedia also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference. Merged groups of small articles based on a core topic are certainly permitted.
* Genealogical entries or phonebook entries. Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of fame, achievement, or perhaps notoriety. One measure of publicity is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on or off-line). Less well-known people may be mentioned within other articles (e.g. Ronald Gay in Violence against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered). See m:Wikipeople for a proposed genealogical/biographical dictionary project. Wikipedia is not the white pages.
* Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. For example, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant programme lists and schedules may be acceptable. Furthermore, the Talk pages associated with an article are for talking about the article, not for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages.
So i will remove most of the many links here present. ALoopingIcon 08:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article needs more content, yet all the links seem highly relevant and provide the missing information, and it is structured much like the VRML article.

thread_title:  Alternatives 

message: Please delete the section "Example documents of X3DV code" and its two links. 
While an X3DV file is a valid X3D file, the syntax of X3DV files (known as Classic VRML) is actually just a VRML file with an X3D header. The syntax looks nothing like an X3D file. I think it is confusing to the reader that there are two different syntaxes, one that looks like X3D and the other that looks like VRML. I'm not making a judgment about X3D vs. X3DV files, just the inclusion of X3DV files as examples on this page. Only X3D examples should be included.

replies: text: Not done: X3DV does not have its own article, so t seems the examples are on this related page. To me, this seems like an appropreiate place for X3DV examples. Thanks, Stickee (talk) 23:32, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: X3DV does not need its own article. X3DV is just a way to have backwards compatibility with VRML, but essentially an X3DV file IS a VRML file with the only difference being the header lines. As a compromise, I think X3DV should be mentioned in the article, but the examples are still not necessary and potentially confusing because they don't look like X3D files at all. Here is a link to the the specs for X3DV files and ClassicVRML  This reference at the very bottom indicates that ClassicVRML is the same as VRML 2.0  .x3dv is mentioned in the box at the top of the page. I would change the order so that .x3d is first as this is the primary file type and extension. 129.6.162.93 (talk) 13:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I've removed the examples section for X3DV and changed the order of file extensions in the infobox. Is that OK with you? Thanks, Stickee (talk) 22:56, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The word CyberTown (in section ) should be linked to its wikipedia page CyberTown, as the article is very interesting, and also would give readers a better idea of VRML's usage.
I would boldly edit the page myself, but this article has been semi-protected for eight years!!
Looking at the protection log for the page, it seems the semi-protection was intended as a temporary stopgap to deal with sock-puppetry, not as a result of some inherent "attractiveness" of this page for vandals...
Anyway, it doesn't really matter, this message will be ignored, and eventually (hopefully) this page will be unlocked out of sheer chance. Ah well.
* Edit done. You could have used an  template to request the edit to be done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E0A:321:C060:D63D:7EFF:FE6D:BBBF (talk) 16:06, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  requested edit to expand acronym 

message: Individuals in the X3D Working Group are considering a number of editorial improvements to this page.  This includes Web3D Consortium members (primarily) and also community participants.
Our intent is not to remove important information or break any valid content, but rather to coherently add a sizable number of improvements that are now available as part of X3D 4.0 and HAnim 2.0 specifications.  We have identified several sections that contain outdated or perhaps irrelevant information, which we will group and consider carefully as part of a "historic" section perhaps.
Feedback welcome.  We are perhaps a week away from applying revisions .
