March 2010 - updated page to reflect the retail release of MS3.

Question regarding previous edit - the 302w FAQ appears misleadingly labelled to me. I'm sure it may be useful to 302w users, but the link name on the main page makes it look like a general Megasquirt FAQ which it is not. Removing it again. 80.176.88.36 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Notability

I'm having trouble with the notability side of the article; all the references point to MS originated pages. Is it correct that this does not meet the notability guidelines? AndyWyatt2 (talk) 06:25, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page doesn't seem to exist? What other sources would you like to see 80.176.88.36 (talk) 01:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(talk), I'm going to remove Notability question mark from the article. I'm not a fan of MS at all, but I assure you that it certainly is notable. If you have a quick search you'll find many many references to it on the web. For example :

http://www.diyefi.org/history.htm - where ms fits into the history of diyefi

http://www.diyautotune.com - their biggest reseller

http://www.mtechautomotive.co.uk/engine-management/ - a clone

http://www.glensgarage.com - another reseller

http://megasquirt.e30klubben.net/lastned.php - a tune sharing repository

http://www.miataturbo.net/forumdisplay.php?f=18 - ms specific forum section for miatas

^ numerous more just like that on hundreds of forums

I rest my case :-) 67.173.42.109 (talk) 01:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but the DIYEFI aren't independent as this is where MegaSquirt came from. The resellers also aren't independent from the subject for obvious commercial reasons, and I don't believe forum content is a reliable second source. Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources:

"Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable."

I'm quite new to Wiki in terms of the guidelines so I'm just trying to work out the problem is my interpretation of notability, the article or the topic itself.

Here's another one: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/megacapable/ Or go out and buy HotRod magazine from a few years back where a Megasquirt powered car (Parish's Fairmont) won one of their "Drag Week" classes. regards 80.176.88.36 (talk) 17:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reads Like an advert?

So, another "drive by tagging". Is that the consensus? Does anyone have suggestions on how to re-write or re-word that opening section?
