blogspot souce

Hello all,

I received a warning when making some edits to the page regarding blogspot as a cited source. While I would normally agree that blogs are not good source material the site in question was written by UBeam's former Chief Technology Officer and provides some excellent inside information regarding the innerworkings and news about UBeam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:F901:C900:428D:5CFF:FEB0:F473 (talk) 18:32, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

This page should really address Meredith's controversial statements on engineering. In her TED talk, she explicitly defamed the entire field and made overall unrealistic claims about energy transmission. It is evident her claims were unfounded and scientifically unsound, having wasted millions towards the (unfulfilled) energy transmission promise. An unassuming reader of Wikipedia reaching the current page would end up with a biased self-promoted/vanity picture of this person.

GNG

She appears to meet GNG. And aren't the WP:ABOUTSELF usable for info about her age and career and stuff? Andre🚐 23:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
