I removed the request for 'reliable references' and the 'Advert' comment.

The reasons were:

1. All statements were sourced from reliable references. These included papers published in international journals or presented at international conferences. If the concern was that some of the papers are available via hyperlinks to the website of an organization, these can be removed. They were provided only for the convenience of readers. The documents are available from the organizations that ran the conferences or that published the magazines. Many of these appear on the 'OneMine' database, but this has access restricted to members of certain professional organisations. There are some references to the website of the organization selling the technology. These are simply supporting statements of fact.

2. The article is not an advertisement, but is a description of a technology developed in the mining industry, explaining how it works, how it came to be developed and giving some examples of its spread through the industry. It is the record of the history of the device.

If there are specific issues with the article, please state what they are and I will endeavor to address them. For example, if the headings are thought to be too journalistic (I was trying to make it entertaining to read), they can be changed.

The 'Advert' comment was probably because this article has a one-sided presentation of facts, even though they are sourced. For example, there is an 'Advantages' section of the article that should not be used in the first place, and at the very minimum does not provide disadvantages. While much of the article's tone is promotional, I have only tagged the 'Advantages' section on the page; the talk page receives a tag too. --Calcvids (talk) 02:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
