Talk:World IPv6 Day and World IPv6 Launch Day

Results, Arbor report is broad enough

Arbor Networks, in partnership with more than ninety network services and content providers from around the world, has published the largest study to date of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) traffic on the Internet. This data is based on six Internet service providers who are capable of carrying both native and tunneled IPv6 traffic, and who have deployed fully IPV6-capable routers at their peering edges which can export traffic statistics for IPv6 traffic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.234.69 (talk) 18:03, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Six is not broad enough (please do not revert as that's a violation of WP:BRD). Are you connected with Arbor Networks in any case? Also, "major" has several meanings.Jasper Deng (talk) 22:26, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Wow, you assume I'm connected with Arbor? I guess I am connected with Arbor in the pursuit of integrity. Your page is very revealing. Wikipedia is discredited due to 'contributors' such as you. Sharing the truth with you is a complete waste of my time. Good bye.68.48.234.69 (talk) 00:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Irrelevant material/NPOV

World IPv6 Day is not a launch day for IPv6. There is doubt that widespread IPv6 will be implemented soon.[10] A major security concern is that with inundation of IP addresses, it would be harder to track addresses. Previously with IPv4, known malicious IPv4 addresses were blocked with a process known as IP Blacklisting.[11] IPv6 enables a significant larger pool of internet address, making it easy for spammers to use a single IP address once to send a single email.[12]

"There is doubt that widespread IPv6 will be implemented soon." - NPOV violation? "A major......email" (everything after the preceding sentence) - Irrelevant to article. 216.160.181.242 (talk) 17:15, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree that the last paragraph should be removed. I would like to retain "World IPv6 Day is not a launch day for IPv6" possibly by linking it to the first sentence describing what is supposed to take place on the day. Docdave (talk) 02:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. Can we remove that last paragraph?

List of participants

Are we going to include all sites, or just major ones? for example, meebo.com participated (meebo's blog) Paganpan (talk) 01:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Why have a list at all? I don't see how it adds anything to the article. --Cybjit (talk) 18:59, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Most infrastructure is already dual stacked?

I strongly disagree with Lori MacVittie (http://www.zdnet.com/ipv4-to-ipv6-switch-when-protocols-collide-3040093062/), who claims that "Dual stacking meets that need well, because most infrastructure is already dual stacked". As of 8 April 2013, only 15.76% of IPv4 autonomous systems are IPv6-enabled. See http://bgp.potaroo.net/v6/v6rpt.html for more. I am removing the claim from the article until somebody comes up with solid counter-arguments. 89.212.50.81 (talk) 19:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Update of 2 URLs in external links - and COI declaration

FYI, yesterday (7 Jan 2020) I was viewing this page and noticed that in the "External Links" section the link for "World IPv6 Day" was no longer working as the domain was not resolving. Because I want articles to be accurate, I just went in and updated the link to point to the Internet Archive version of the World IPv6 Day website so that the link would be preserved for historical purposes. While there, I also updated the http://www.worldipv6launch.org/ link to be "https". Only after making the changes did it occur to me that I have WP:COI here because I am employed by the Internet Society, the organization that was behind both of these events back in 2011 and 2012. I hope these factual URL updates will still be acceptable. In the future I will follow the normal process of suggesting updates here on the Talk page versus making them directly. I have also added a connected contributors box here on this page with my user ID. - Dyork (talk) 21:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Replace WebCite citations with Internet Archive citations?

I noticed that several of the references include archival links to WebCite. However, given that WebCite is no longer accepting archives (since Oct 2019), I'm wondering if these archive links should be changed to point to relevant Internet Archive links. Thoughts? - Dyork (talk) 14:04, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
