Talk:GE Vernova

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. BilCat (talk) 20:37, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

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. BilCat (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

The page is not ready, I need more editors to help us. WiinterU (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

What specifically needs to be done? I think what you have now is good enough to go live with. BilCat (talk) 21:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

The history section isn't finished, and the article is too short. WiinterU (talk) 21:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

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. BilCat (talk) 21:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

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. BilCat (talk) 21:46, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. WiinterU (talk) 21:47, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Nice. 320th Century (talk) 23:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

You can move it to the mainsace if you'd like. WiinterU (talk) 03:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Logo

All, thank you for your work on this page - much appreciated.

May I ask for one change, please? The GE Vernova logo that you are using was an initial proof, and is the wrong colour. The correct one is at https://www.gevernova.com/themes/custom/ge_vernova_unified/logo.svg. If you need it sized, please let me know.

Thanks, Simon Langford GE Vernova Sehlangford (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done. @Sehlangford: Please check the image file to make sure I have all the legal info correct. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 20:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you - logo looks good.

If you need anything else clarifying, please let me know. Happy to help, but not interfere. Sehlangford (talk) 10:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

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. ^Wiinter_U 23:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't take that as a criticism. I was better than no logo at all. BilCat (talk) 02:49, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Agreed - wasn't supposed to be criticism at all, apologies if taken as such.

Thank you for making the switch. Sehlangford (talk) 08:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

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).

Happy to help with any questions that anyone has.

Thanks Sehlangford (talk) 08:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

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. ^Wiinter_U 02:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

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. BilCat (talk) BilCat (talk) 08:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
