message: "Kinetics, a subsidiary of NCR" is a horrible name for this article... is there a better way to name it? ---J.Smith 18:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.  I am just having problems understanding where the boundaries are on wiki in regards what to put up. —This unsigned comment was added by Jcroasdaile (talk • contribs) .

Is it ok if I post suggested additions here first for you to look over?  I see why having a concensus is good and helps the wiki vs a single person just adding items.  If you think the potential entry is valid then I would feel more comfortable posting.

Kinetics, a subsidiary of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), is a leading provider of enterprise and self-service technologies to today's travel industry and is the architect of the modern airline self-service era. Kinetics, based in Lake Mary, Fla., produces hardware and software solutions, as well as engineering, developmental and preventive maintenance services designed to help businesses capture more revenue, expand distribution channels and enhance customer service. Kinetics technologies support all consumer channels, including kiosks, Web, PDAs, cell phones and phones (natural speech recognition).
It does have a marketing spin on it at the beginning, but if various items are facts then who is to say.  Maybe delete the following portion? "is a leading provider of enterprise and self-service technologies to today's travel industry and is the architect of the modern airline self-service era."

replies: text: Well, we can't just copy and paste it over... that would violate a few copywrites.  (we get a bit paranoid about that here).  That paragraph provides us with some valuable information.  First of all it tells us the stock-symbol. Thats good to have in the article.  Also, that paragraph tells us where they are based. Lastly it tells us basically what they do.  That's great information... but we need to re-write it into our own words.  Comments like "is a leading provider of" are fine if we can find a third party source to verify it.  WP:V and WP:NPOV are the two pillars of wikipedia that are important here:) ---J.Smith 19:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
