Talk:Teslin (material)

Promo style

The article reads like taken straight from a patent holders commercial leaflet.

The article needs to be cleaned up so that those unfamilar with the jargon of the paper industry can understand it. In addition, the English and grammar could be improved. Alex Rauket (talk) 19:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, it would help if materials engineers took some literature and composition courses huh? ;'-)_ just kidding, but see next section.

Which polymer is it comprised of? Tommie (talk) 14:51, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Most common use problem; fixing with page move

"Teslin" is the name of a major lake, river, town (Teslin, Yukon), and another town/Indian Reserve (Teslin Post) and two Indian Reserves in British Columbia (Teslin Lake IR No. 7 and Teslin Lake IR No. 9]] and ultimately is the English form of the name of the Desleinn kwaan of the Tlingit peoples. Typing "Teslin" in the search box should not come to an article on an obscure material, which evidently "borrowed" the name of the people/place/lake etc - or accidentally coincided with it, maybe as a variant on muslin or some such. I'm not sure where at all to take this, but this page-title should be Teslin (material) or some such, and Teslin, its current title, should be a disambiguation page. So I'm gonna do the page move and then take the redirect and make it into a disambiguation page, rather than "Teslin (disambiguation)".Skookum1 (talk) 00:10, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

possible incorrect claim

Hello, My name is Alan Neves and I am the Global RFID Account Manager here at Vanguard ID Systems. During a routine search where we went to Wikipedia to look at what you had about Teslin (material from PPG Industries), we saw that there was a line in the article that we believe is not correct. That line is the second sentence of the third paragraph that says:

"In 1984, the first Teslin(r)-based plastic card was produced by Ron Goade."

We have (and I certainly can supply you with a copy of this) a letter from PPG Industries Teslin Products Business Manager that shows that Richard "Rick" Warther was the first to print variable data using electronic imaging equipment on Teslin(r) Printing Sheet for use in the manufacture of Calling and Customer Loyalty Cards.

Please reach out to me so that we can clear this up, OK?

Thanks!

This article should be removed as a Wiki article due to censoring by PPG

Previous versions of this Wiki showed verified evidence of the subject matter (Teslin) that are relevant to the objectives of Wiki for broad knowledge and free speech. A private entity with a pecuniary interest (PPG) continue to edit this article, removing pertinent information such that it indeed does read like a PPG marketing brochure. This does not follow Wiki principles and therefore should not qualify as a Wiki article.

PPG - please do not remove verified information to satisfy private needs and adhere to the Wiki principle posted below:

The Wikimedia Foundation believes that everyone in the world has a right to free access to information, and we are proud of the work the Wikimedia community does to compile information and make it available. Except where required by applicable law, we do not remove information from the Wikimedia projects to satisfy private or government interests.

The article mentions the fact its used for the making of ID's - thus common sense would tell us its also used in the making of fake ID's. We have no interest in having the promotion of how to websites for illegal matters here. We are not here to facilitate crimes or promote how to pages thru links.
