Talk:Businesses and organizations in Second Life

message: This article is so extensively out of date that mere editing is unlikely to be sufficient to correct it. At a quick read through I can barely see one single business listed here that I can say 'oh that still exists' about.  Not only are most of the named real-world business not in Second Life anymore, but neither are any of their (former) clients - a causal relationship incidentally, but I mention this because it's so out of date on so many levels it's become recursively out of date. I understand why this article was locked but possibly it's now archaic nature is one side effect of having done that. 
I agree with a previous poster, this page should be dropped completely and replaced with a reference to Linden Labs published list of real world businesses working in Second Life (http://solutionproviders.secondlife.com/) which is (relatively) up to date. With no criteria to establish if a virtual business is actually trading in-world, I agree that section be deleted and no attempt to replace it be made.

message: Hey Signpost, Gigs Taggart is a registered fictitious name sole proprietorship.  It's not a separate legal entity, but it's sure a business.  Your call.  I won't add it myself because of the obvious conflict of interest. Gigs 00:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: On "SL Investor's Bank" is incorrect information and slander, calling spammer etc.
This is most likely done by a known griefer (Nobody Fugazi/Taran Rampersad) who has a fixation on this particular business, and habit of bad mouthing where ever possible. (Ironically, this person has been caught in action from spamming and extortion himself!)
Furthermore, it is not anymore a bank, since the banning of banks in Second Life, and is now called SL International Business. When the ban came into effect, SLIB was 2nd biggest bank in Second Life.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyriancamilo (talk • contribs) 22:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Categorisation?

message: i would insert some new voices but the page is semiprotected, so i'm writing here, how can i modify it? 
The voices inside "Operated inside Second Life":
Enel launched his own island in Second life in July 2007, Enel Park; he can show now power plants projects under construction in real life, moto and racing circuit, movie theater, contest and engaging games, commercial area and various offices.  Enel Park show how will be the future of energy and the prospective of a real sustainable development.  On the Hydrogen Park, thanks to Enel official sponsor of Ducati Bike, all users can drive a moto with the real sound of its engine.
Starlife Srl is a consulting company wich provides a full - service of development in virtual world.  The company also opened his own bases on Starlife Island in Second Life, where he has organized and promoted big event Like Festa del Cinema, Forum PA award and Rome fiction festival. Starlife has realized Enel Park island for Enel SpA.

thread_title: New Voice

message: The past two AFDs both called for a strong cleanup of this article. See here and here. So there has been a consensus to proceed with a clean-up, ending with this version of the article. Feel free to expand the list. However, I'd add two cautionary notes:
* Avoid using this list to link to non-notable external sites. See WP:LINKFARM and WP:ADVERT.
* Avoid using this list to promote organizations that were just made up in the game world. See WP:MADEUP. 
This should not be an exhaustive list of every organization in the game, but a summary with a few notable examples. Randomran (talk) 21:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  clean-up, as per discussions 

message: I see this page has become 'Semi-protected' with a fandango in place to request edits. I am not 'autoconfirmed' and the process for 'Request Permissions' doesn't seem to have a category for simple edits, only various 'power user' type roles, so I hope this entry will achieve the intended result. The requested edit is to add the following to the section "Originating from Second Life".
Advanced Virtual
UK based full service design and construction company[1][2][3] with a specialism in machinima.
[1] Website http://www.advancedvirtual.com
[2] Second Life Solution Provider listing http://solutionproviders.secondlife.com/provider/show/id/115
[3] The Independent (newspaper article) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/sustainit/the-new-tools-of-trade-1605552.html
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankrockett (talk • contribs) 18:25, 16 December 2009
 Not done: The section about Advanced Virtual seems to have been removed last December by someone trying to clean up the problems with the article to avoid having the article deleted. The deletion discussions centered around "WP:NOT, including WP:NOT#ADVERTISING, WP:NOT#LINK, WP:NOT#DIRECTORY, WP:NOT#GUIDE and WP:NOT#INFO." You should read those, but the key is that wiki isn't an indiscriminate collection of stuff, so we must have some criteria for inclusion. One that I have often seen used successfully in other articles is notability, as evidenced by having a Wikipedia article. If I were you, I would write an article on Advanced Virtual. As a side benefit, that would allow you to complete another five edits, which is all that stands between you and being autoconfirmed. Celestra (talk) 21:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
