Cleanup?

This article makes very bad reading. It has some facts right, some wrong, and is basically presented in a very confused manner. In some places it reads like a commercial offer document. If I could get some opinions on this, I'd like to start a revision of this article. -- Achitnis 12:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An example of "very confused": A common misconception is that the Simputer was designed to bridge the financial divide. It was not meant as a computer for the poor. Rather, the main intention was to bridge the digital divide. Say what?

Cleanup

I have started the cleanup of this article. It will be a bit "unstable" for a few days while I source facts and references and citations.

For now, I have re-sectioned the article, updated facts, cleaned out dead links, added an info box, etc.

Fair use rationale for Image:SimputerLogo.gif

Image:SimputerLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
