Now the contest is over, we should update a lot of pages. I've just come from one about that guy who programmed Quake's project. What links here is enormous, but may help -- 80.58.20.170 16:21, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Is there any reason why Ansari X Prize is in all caps? While that is how they spell it on the official Web site, I think they're the only ones who do so. Tregoweth 15:27, Jun 21, 2004 (UTC)
Thank you, DavidWBrooks for Being Bold and making the move. However, you made two mistakes: you spelt "Ansari" wrong in the new name, and you ignored the message about checking for double redirects - of which there were no less than 12! All fixed now, though, so no harm done. :D - IMSoP 23:51, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
What is the history of the X-Prize? As I recall, the prize has been offered for successively more complex tasks, and nobody has accomplished one of these tasks in time to win the prize. -- ke4roh 23:57, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I had initially referred to the da Vinci Project's craft as " Wild Fire Mark VI", but someone changed it to " Wild Fire" because they couldn't find proof that it had the "Mark VI" at the end. I understand that, because Google searches for "Wild Fire Mark VI" come up blank. However, I got that name from the team's home page. They announced that "the Wild Fire Mark VI spacecraft will be unveiled at a public and media photo opportunity on Thursday August 5th 2004". However, I will grant that it's the only place I've seen the "Mark VI" appended to the name. So I'm content to wait until after August 5th to see if that name is used at the unveiling, or if they just refer to it as "Wild Fire". - Eisnel 18:15, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Now that the prize has been won, of course some explanation of that situation needs to be incorporated into this article, but I haven't the time now. Anybody willing to research a few news articles? [[User:Livajo| 力伟| т]] 00:41, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The article says Tier One, but the award was presented today to Mojave Aerospace Ventures — I was there, and that is what the literature being handed out said, and how the check was made out. They're related, of course, but how? And how should the winner be explained in this article? -- Kbh3rd 01:10, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I don't understand what "conversion to normal English units" is supposed to mean.

I just did some research on the X-Prize and to my knowledge there were only 26 teams participating. I spoke to the Ansari X-Prize press people and they told me the same. Also, your list of teams only contains 26 names.
There should be the name of Gregg Maryniak somewhere. The bottom line is that he is running the shop. 137.82.201.125 17:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
I will add my voice to the camp saying that all caps for the word "X Prize" is silly, pretentious, and incorrect (unless it's an acronym, which it's not). I tried to make it consistent, by keeping the capitals for the actual trademark "ANSARI X-PRIZE" and making the usage lower-case when talking about the X Prize generally, rather than going with my personal preference, which would be to lower all the caps.
Why is Wikipedia caps sensitive, anyway? I can't think of any sense to this. Are there any reasonable cases where somebody would look up a phrase in lower case, and prefer NOT to see hits on the phrase in caps? Geoffrey.landis 17:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
$10 million to sequence 100 human genomes, etc. All of these are evolutions of the first prize, and, in a real encyclopedia ( not one run by ignorant, warring "editors" ) this would at least be mentioned.
