Going live
With the company being officially spun-off in just a few hours, is this draft ready to be moved to mainspace? It looks good enough to me, with no question of it being a notable topic. (I can move it if necessary, as I'm a page mover.) Thanks.

Note that I'm not an AFC reviewer, so I won't use that process. That said, anyone can move a draft, and I am an experienced article creator and page mover. There isn't anything major to do to make the article ready for mainspace, as far as I can tell. I was tempted to go ahead and move it without asking first, just in case some over-eager, inexperienced user tries to create an article for it at the main title. I'll wait a few hours for a reply from the main editor, but I'll probably. move it by midnight US Eastern Time if I get no response. Thanks.

The page is not ready, I need more editors to help us.

What specifically needs to be done? I think what you have now is good enough to go live with.

The history section isn't finished, and the article is too short.
WiinterU (

Wikipedia has no deadline. As long as the article topic meets WP:GNG, which is does, and the content that it has is suitably referenced to reliable sources, which it appears to be, that is good enough for a start. The rest can be added to the live article as we continue to work on it. Once the company is spun off tomorrow (my time), more people will be looking for the article, and some of those will help to flesh out the article.

I've added the external links section. I'm good with navboxes, so I may try to add the main company one tonight or tomorrow. I'm not good with categories or stock templates, so someone else will need to work on those. I'm also not good at writing prose, but I can edit for readability, grammar, etc., though what you have so far looks good.

Done. @

Thank you - logo looks good.
If you need anything else clarifying, please let me know. Happy to help, but not interfere.

I'm sorry, when this page was created I had limited help. I was getting for editors, however, the best I could get was advice. That was the only logo I could find. When I made this page, I expected a draft article to already exist. It didn't. WiinterU 23:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)reply
I wouldn't take that as a criticism. I was better than no logo at all.
BilCat (
talk) 02:49, 10 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Agreed - wasn't supposed to be criticism at all, apologies if taken as such.
Thank you for making the switch.
Sehlangford (

Not an issue - thank you for switching the logo. As I mentioned, I work for GE Vernova, so won't make structural changes, but might offer advice on incorrect information for editors to action (or not).
I'm sorry if it seemed like I took it as criticism. I just had issues with making the page. This is the first page I made. WiinterU 02:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)reply
No worries. You did a great job for your first article. I've been mostly retired from Wikipedia since last October, or I might created it myself had I realized there wasn't draft already being worked on.
