FLIR=Forward Looking InfRared?

Should there be a link to Forward looking infrared in this article, if that's what the company's named after? Jason McHuff (talk) 06:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, along with a statement explaining the name. There's probably an article in the Portland Business Journal with that info. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source for expansion/citations

File:FLIR entrance sign.JPG Already have a pics, just waiting for article to expand enough to use it. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guess I won't ride down there tomorrow then. Thanks! tedder (talk) 23:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[1] seems sort of interesting if we could get the whole story... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.22.45 (talk) 17:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the court judgement, and a slightly confusing local summary. We should also be able to tie this to Cannabis in Oregon because of the Kyllo v. United States case. More: "seven years since Kyllo". tedder (talk) 17:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FLIR Systems -- Updating entry

Hello, I'm new to Wikipedia and would like to update this entry. My previous attempt at this was not up to Wikipedia's standards, so it was suggested I post my re-write here to get the community's feedback and suggestions. This is intended to build upon the existing content and citations, but adding some of the more recent activities. I ask for your patience as I learn the tools used here (especially the citation tool, which seems to have flattened my learning curve considerably). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ampersand82 (talk) 17:45, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks - I've moved the content you pasted here to User:Ampersand82/FLIR_Systems so that it can be worked on there (by yourself, and by other users if you don't mind) - and then that page can be deleted when the content has been moved into the article. Looking at that page I can see several opportunities for improvement - (1) there's a lot of "currently", "now" etc, (2) we don't normally use state abbreviations (OR, FL etc) in wp and (3) there are some problems with the refs. DexDor (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, DexDor! I don't mind others working on the entry on that page at all. I'd prefer to receive feedback so that I can learn from other, more experienced users, but not to the point of discouraging others from providing input. I think I've taken care of your points 1 and 2 now. Can you tell me what the problems with the refs are? Is it a matter of broken links or the quality of the sources? I know I need to figure out how to refer to the same source multiple times instead of linking to it repeatedly. I saw that "how to" the other day, but can't seem to find it again. Off to read more...! EDIT -- found and corrected the problems.Ampersand82 (talk) 21:13, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
