[edit]

The tag warning this article may not meet the general notability guideline was added within hours of this article being submitted, this was however before I had added references and any categorizations for the article. I was late to do this because I am new to wikipedia format. I believe Seamless3d has notability because it is non proprietary, free open source software with no copyleft restrictions, has been around since 2001, has demonstrated it can create high quality content and is used by different people from around the globe. Seamless3d is especially good at verifying itself independently because it has a built in software robot that can simulate a user using it and the source code is open to public scrutiny.

Hi there, I added the tag when on New Page patrol, which is often the way new articles are picked up. The 'references needed' tag is not a warning, or any kind of criticism or threat. Rather it is an encouragement to editors who are knowledgable about a subject to add material that will protect and improve an article. So far, all of the sources that have been added are useful expansions to descriptions of the software, but none of them meet the criterion for independent sources. Have a look here for a description of sources for verification. Also this related criterion is one for websites - not software, but it might give a clue as to the kind of sources needed. In simple terms, a good reference would be to be able to say in the text of the article something like: "This program has been used by the General Widget Corporation in the development of their next range of nano-widgets" with a reference to the issue, page number and author of the New York Times article which announced the General Widgets news. Some kind of similar independent assertion of notability is what's needed here, not a restatement of the inherent qualities of Seamless3d. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 13:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i just stumbled across this page because i was looking for information about what became of Blaxxun. I'm a Wikipedia-Nobody, but obviously this is software that has been developed by and for Blaxxun - unfortunately there is no Wikipedia page about Blaxxun itself, which i propose should be added by a more knowledgeable person than me. AFAIK, Blaxxun was a german startup during the early VRML Hype days - when everybody was talking about how the Internet would become a 3D environment. And that's definitely just as important a historical period with all its minor and major players as, for instance, the gazillion-th punk band. But that would deliver the reference you want. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.34.245.24 (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I must point out Seamless3d is NOT software developed by Blaxxun. Seamless3d is independent of any commercial and non commercial organisation. I agree I think there should be a wikipedia page devoted to Blaxxun because Blaxxun must have been one of the first companies to develop a multi-user 3d chat platform (years before Second Life) Thymefromti (talk) 12:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
