Mark of the beast

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/21/schoolgirl_expelled_rfid_chip/

Is a single lawsuit notable enough? Hcobb (talk) 22:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A lawsuit by itself is not WP:notable. A lawsuit is a primary source, and WP needs a secondary source to tell us it is notable. That said, notability is a requirement for a separate article; it is not a requirement for inclusion in an existing article.
The story you cite is not the lawsuit but rather an article about the controversy. If The Register is a reliable source, then it can be used to add information to an article. A google search turns up other sources for the story.
The question becomes does the story merit inclusion. I'm on the fence. The story has human interest and is growing, but WP is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. The story is more about privacy in general than RFID. There are additional privacy issues: the badge barcode is apparently her Social Security Number. On the flip side, the WP article has a lot about RFID privacy issues: Radio-frequency identification#Privacy. Maybe that section will spin off.
I would be shocked if the number of the card is her SSN. Schools are really not that lax with sensitive information. Read the article again... they say "correspond" to her SSN. There is a database, somewhere, that matches her RFID number to her SSN. -- Wguynes (Talk | contribs) 20:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Consequently, I'd say be bold and put something about the story in the article -- but keep a neutral tone.

Be aware that most of the headlines you'll find are incorrect. The student was disenrolled only after refusing an ID card without an RFID chip. Almost all articles claim, usually in the headline, that it was because she refused one with a chip. Very sensationalist, sells papers, but one would hope we at Wikipedia care about facts. See the copy of the letter from the district referenced in some of the articles for a direct reference to the disenrollment. It does no good to merely regurgitate bad journalism. -- Wguynes (Talk | contribs) 20:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "Mark of the Beast" references Revelation 13. The passage is not very specific as to what it is, and that therefore we cannot be very specific as to what it is not. However, human identification is involved in this chapter, especially for economic ends, and, more broadly, for purposes of control. The Book of Revelation is held authoritative, as it is in the canon, of all major divisions of the Christian Faith. (John G. Lewis (talk) 16:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Active RFID

Active RFID in my opinion is added into the article as if it is the same technology as passive RFID with a battery. This is factually incorrect. What is know as active RFID is a very different technology. It operates in a different way and has a number of features that is not applicable to passive RFID. Active RFID is an electronic tag that includes an microprocessor and transmitter circuit. The tag is battery powered and provided a continues modulation control signal which transmits a unique identification and other data. The invention also included a receiver that receive the transmissions from the tag.

Terrence Keith (Terry) Ashwin developed the automatic electronic identification - battery operated (active) Identification System [1] [2] [3] [4] today known as Active RFID. The original product was called Link-IT and then renamed to Wavetrend.[5] Wavetrend delivered a paper at the RFID Journal Live Conference in May 2006. (http://www.rfidjournalevents.com/live2006/PDF/WedBO_Bishop.pdf) Wavetrend was referenced as the leaders in Active RFID technology on page 3 of the presentation.

He developed a number of additional features that made this product even more unique.[6]

The product in 1999 while it was commercially known as Link-IT was awarded the prestigious 'Security Industry's Finest New Product Showcase'[7] award at the ISC EXPO, Las Vegas 2000. [8]

Terry's invention (Link-IT) was discussed on a live SABC (South African Broadcast Corporation) program,Net Insider, with a panel that included two international experts. [9] The Net Insider on YouTube is half an hour long, and was specifically loaded by the author to provide an extra third party reference. In the video (9:40 minutes) Jeff Jarvis, VP Business Development of Access Corporation, USA, states "That it is new technology" and "It is the best I've seen for electronic commerce in the near term". (25:10 minutes) Don Small, VP Marketing and Business Development, HID Corporation, Irvine, California, Leaders in the Passive RFID world, provides an explanation about the difference between active and passive RFID and why HID is interested in the technology. Net Insider is as far as the author could establish an independent facilitator obtaining a objective view using a panel discussion with company representatives and independent experts.

I removed the insertion about TA. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terrence Keith Ashwin. Glrx (talk) 14:41, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is unfortunately not good enough. A number of additional substantiating documentation was provided. The post that you deleted contained 3rd party article that was not previously posted. If you have a reason for removing the content then state reasons and respond to all the additional information provided. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terrence Keith Ashwin.

I reverted and also cited a WP:POV.[1] Patents, reworked press releases, and presentations by company employees are not independent secondary sources. You need to get a consensus to add the material. See also WP:BRD. Glrx (talk) 19:12, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

France Rode

France Rode inventor of first Rode also invented and created the first workable RFID products

source: France Rode

So why he isn't mentioned? Because he is not an American? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.107.192 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 25 September 2014

WP is not a reliable source, so it cannot be used to support an RFID invention claim. Rode's patent is 12 years after Cardullo's 1972 patent. Rode was an employee of HP; there does not seem to be any basis for a discrimination claim. Glrx (talk) 18:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Rode's work is a milestone but not the first working system. For that you have to go back to the IFF system deployed in August 1939 just in time for WW2. Wundermac (talk) 04:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The link "What is RFID? - Animated Explanation" seems to be broken. I was able to identify this URL: http://www.explania.com/en/channels/technology/detail/rfid-explained but it says "Sorry Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbarcelo (talk • contribs) 13:50, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


The link What is RFID? Educational video by The RFID Network also appears to be broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbarcelo (talk • contribs) 13:52, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That site (explania) is not a reliable source: 1) hosted by a marketing company 2) with no clear author information, let alone information about the authors' expertise and credentials, and 3) allows "company sponsoring" and other PR activities influencing their content.

Antique orthography

Moving Radio-frequency identification to Radiofrequency identification ought to be noncontroversial given that it is not 1942 anymore. Hyphenating "radio-frequency" is antique orthography, which WP does not use for current technology topics. I moved it per WP:BOLD, and it was reverted. Please explain below any valid objections to removing it (besides "I personally like to write with unusual or outdated punctuation", which is not a valid reason for the Wikipedia article on RFIDs). Thanks. — ¾-10 00:48, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
