Talk:Alien Technology

message: No real argument here just a slight correction and some info Re; Alien competitors. Alien also makes readers used to detect and track the tags and battery-powered backscatter systems. So, they have differing sets of competitors for the differing market sector and product groups. However, Aliens competitors for Tag products are mainly; Avery Dennison, Raflatec, RSI ID Technologies,Intermec,Symbol(now a part of Motorola),Checkpoint and a few others.
However, Philips and Impinj are more accurately suppliers and primarily IC chip designers and makers/suppliers.At this point Alien has not used its FSA tech to produce and supply others, instead they currently use their own production internaly for making their inlays and tag products. Also, I don't believe Impinji has a fabrication facility of their own they so presently are mainly design. They Impinji were successful in developing and first to market with an EPC Gen2 chip, which they subsequently sold to many inlay producers. A previous competitor TI also makes gen2 chips and until just recently made inlays but the have discontinued inlay production and are concentraiting on chips and antenna desighn and support for clients.

message: I have removed the board of directors information, the Investors list, cleaned up the external links, added an external link to the S1 filing as a way to verify any information about the copy as the SEC/FTC and Nasdaq require complete disclosure on all aspects of the company. I hope whom ever the original poster of this article was doesn't mind.
Clarified what kind of RFID tags/labels the company makes and what they are used for, as to disassociate from any mistaken beliefs that the company produces implantable RFID chips. Alien has nothing to do with human implantable RFID like "Verichip".
Also added history of company in (MHO) a non-biased manner.--Bschott 20:30, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article has many things wrong with its citations.
See points in text which ask for citations.
There are links to Alien's press conferences, which are self-published sources and not appropriate references for Wikipedia.
The main issue with the page is that there is no reference list. All the citations incorrectly link to outside pages, but instead should link to a reference list at the end of the article. Jmcfarland27 (talk) 23:26, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There's also something wrong with unsigned comments left on Wikipedia Talk Pages. I've removed the  tags. This is an example of abusive over-tagging. The use of press releases from a company that is the subject of a Wikipedia article is appropriate and proper; it is not second-hand information, and is thus, presumably, more reliable than information found in a magazine editorial or report elsewhere that has abstracted or summarized information from those same press releases.Adding a References section and  template is a trivial task, which I have done. —QuicksilverT @ 18:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You may have done the 'trivial' task of adding the Reference section, but the page's references are far from correct. There are at least 11 inline citations and only the 2 which you converted to references actually show up on the reference list. If it's so trivial, why didn't you go ahead and fix all of the citations? Jmcfarland27 (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
