Notability and non-wiki sources are being added. -- Lexein ( talk) 22:42, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Page was recreated after being deleted. The page has been recreated by one of the "founders" of the group, and is self-advertising, with half the sources being the group itself. Organisation is still "non-notable" and "self-promoting", essentially identical to the page that was just deleted in compliance with Wikipedia policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.0.185 ( talk) 23:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Ioerror, thank you for "declaring" as an interested party, per WP:COI#Declaring an interest, and for contributing article improvements. The article has been improved in several ways, and there a few areas for improvement going forward.
I hope you take these comments in the positive light they are intended, for improving the article, and making it even more deletion-resistant. -- Lexein ( talk) 10:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
The Media section is problematic. Lists of media mentions are, in my experience, not allowed in Wikipedia, or any encyclopedia, really. The list seems to be there to defend the notability of the article, but it's not needed in that capacity because the article is supported by inline citations of WP:Reliable sources throughout. What I mean is, the media sources which discuss Noisebridge (not just name it) should just be used in inline citations, not pointed out as "looky here - a media mention."

I am affiliated with the subject of this article and as such my edits to it should be clearly non-controversial.

This article reads like a marketing brochure. Award-winning software and more! And we speak at conferences! And look at our facilities! How about an description without promotion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.144.12 ( talk) 08:29, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

WP:42 award, they also had a "readers' pick", and allegedly some "Goldie award" (=one unsourced enwiki statement in the next section). IOW, this is spam, or rather

17:03, 31 December 2017 (UTC)This is a fair point, while I don't see the mention of getting awards as bias or as odd promotional content, the "media coverage" section is just not that well done, so I'll work on converting the "list of media articles" into interesting and relevant content, by reading those articles, quoting or referencing them as seems useful, and citing them as sources. The "awards" mentions could also just be in an awards section as is fairly standard for articles. Lizzard ( talk) 20:26, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't know if this is in the right place, but the Arduino for beginners pic has july 2011 as the date, which is wrong. I know this because I am in the picture. It was taken in July 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.187.164.34 ( talk) 18:58, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Noisebridge. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
