Work in progress

I am currently working on doing an extension of this page, including information regarding developers, funding, etc. User:MichelleBir./sandbox -MichelleBir. (talk) 18:27, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I have added my edits to increase the amount of information on this page any feedback is invited -MichelleBir. (talk) 21:43, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

@MichelleBir.: Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia! Great job with a first article. Below are some aspects I noticed while reading over the article that could be further improved. If you have any questions, please ping me below and I'd be happy to help.

• The lead sentence should summarize the most important parts of an article. In the case of an app, the company founders and location aren't the most important elements.
• Statements should be verified with reliable, secondary sources. The company's website, Medium posts and download links do not meet these guidelines. Additionally, more references are needed.
• The Bloomberg reference details through VisualEditor won't render properly. It's a issue we're trying to fix. Please manually enter the contents for the time being.
• With a select few exceptions, external links shouldn't be included in the article's body. For the Investors section, even if the firm doesn't have an article, it shouldn't be linked externally. See WP:EL.
• Lists should be kept short. For example, Vrtucar, Pogo and Communauto aren't worthy of inclusion. See WP:DIRECTORY.
• Investors and Developers are not sections that should be grouped together.
• Cons is not a valid section heading. Criticism can be used as a heading; however, the best practice is to incorporate that content into its appropriate section. In the case, the Features section.
• The article's wording too similar when compared to this news article.

I would also recommend reading WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:NOR.

Thank you and happy editing! Daylen (talk) 21:07, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi MichelleBir.-

I like your edits to the article- you have a lot of good information! Something I would suggest is making a new section that you can move some of the information that is currently in the intro to. The intro could be like 3-4 sentences of just the most vital information and then the rest of it could get moved to a new section.

Do you know which 4 American cities for the scooter sharing? I think that could be a helpful addition, especially if they're big cities.

I also might include a quick sentence on what a mobile ticketing system is, for context.

I made slight grammatical changes, but it was good! Rose Northeastern (talk) 00:12, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi MichelleBir.-

I think you added some good content to the existing page. I agree with Rose that you could split up the intro paragraph and try to add different sections to the bottom. Maybe you could add a section talking about their competitors and expand on it a bit. I also agree that you could expand a bit on the scooter sharing. Do you know exactly what companies they have partnered with?

I looked to make small gramatical errors but it looked like Rose already cleaned that up.

I think you have a very good foundation and if you added those parts it will be a really good article!

Scooter integration in Calgary, Canada

As I was reading through this article I noticed it say "aggregates scooters information in 4 American cities". I am form Calgary and have noticed some of these scooters on the app. Can someone investigate? Napets007 (talk) 04:38, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
