message: I thought Jane was a first name, not a surname. I found it strange how one woman would have such a fascination with military vehicles. — JIP | Talk 15:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Does this Jane have something to do with the 1990's flightsimulators from Jane's/EA?
:Jane's provided EA with the data for the aircraft and weapons in the games, and in return got a cut of the profits. Impi 21:53, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't forget that the Jane's brand has a strong association with accuracy, and EA wanted to convey that to their audience. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 21:57, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Can the bulk of the ownership details in the intro (namely previous ownership) be removed or placed into it's own ownership / corporate history section? Are previous ownership percentages crucial to understanding what Jane's is?
:Done. It didn't make a lot of sense to discuss an ex-owners financial stake without context and also have no detail about the current owners status. And no source to say that who owns how much was relevant anyway. Cheers. Weakopedia (talk) 22:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Get rid of The Shephard Group as a competitor - the guy who added that entry was their former marketing manager. They only compete on a very small number of products. Methna7 (talk) 22:11, 24 Feb 2012 (UTC)

message: Really, it's almost entirely a list, rather than an article. It's the sort of thing that might be pasted up here by a publisher (for marketing purposes) or an enthusiastic fan. Neither use is acceptable.
Almost all of the entries are "red-linked" meaning that the publications aren't important enough to merit a Wikipedia article.
None of the entries has a prose explanation of the publication.
Given those three failings, it'd perhaps be better to delete this completely. However, I'll begin by removing the red.Weeb Dingle (talk) 09:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: First, I cut all those red links, which took entirely too long. Then I removed all entries lacking an article or even a rudimentary source. What remained was turned into sentences. Finally, the pointless section divisions were dropped.Weeb Dingle (talk) 16:55, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
