Talk:Ansari X Prize

message: Now the contest is over, we should update a lot of pages. I've just come from one about that guy who programmed Quake's project. What links here is enormous, but may help --80.58.20.170 16:21, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update Needed

message: I had initially referred to the da Vinci Project's craft as "Wild Fire Mark VI", but someone changed it to "Wild Fire" because they couldn't find proof that it had the "Mark VI" at the end. I understand that, because Google searches for "Wild Fire Mark VI" come up blank. However, I got that name from the team's home page. They announced that "the Wild Fire Mark VI spacecraft will be unveiled at a public and media photo opportunity on Thursday August 5th 2004". However, I will grant that it's the only place I've seen the "Mark VI" appended to the name. So I'm content to wait until after August 5th to see if that name is used at the unveiling, or if they just refer to it as "Wild Fire". - Eisnel 18:15, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Wild Fire (Mark VI?)

message: Now that the prize has been won, of course some explanation of that situation needs to be incorporated into this article, but I haven't the time now. Anybody willing to research a few news articles? 力伟|т 00:41, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: So, is anyone going to add the news?

message: The article says Tier One, but the award was presented today to Mojave Aerospace Ventures — I was there, and that  is what the literature being handed out said, and how the check was made out.  They're related, of course, but how?  And how should the winner be explained in this article?  --Kbh3rd 01:10, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: What entity actually won the prize?

message: There should be the name of Gregg Maryniak somewhere. The bottom line is that he is running the shop.137.82.201.125 17:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I will add my voice to the camp saying that all caps for the word "X Prize" is silly, pretentious, and incorrect (unless it's an acronym, which it's not).  I tried to make it consistent, by keeping the capitals for the actual trademark "ANSARI X-PRIZE" and making the usage lower-case when talking about the X Prize generally, rather than going with my personal preference, which would be to lower all the caps.   
Why is Wikipedia caps sensitive, anyway?  I can't think of any sense to this.  Are there any reasonable cases where somebody would look up a phrase in lower case, and prefer NOT to see hits on the phrase in caps?  Geoffrey.landis 17:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dump the caps 

message: $10 million to sequence 100 human genomes, etc.  All of these are evolutions of the first prize, and, in a real encyclopedia ( not one run by ignorant, warring "editors" ) this would at least be mentioned.

replies: text: The genome prize is mentioned in the article introduction and a link is provided to the Archon X Prize. This is an article about the Ansari X Prize, which does not have anything to do with genome sequencing. I challenge you to name one encyclopedia (besides Wikipedia) that has an article about the Archon X Prize. Wronkiew (talk) 05:50, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
