Help out with the To-do lists

Be consistent

Use a "standard" layout for transhumanism related articles (see: The perfect article, and Featured articles)
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles

Maintenance / Etc

Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)

"Future Forecast"?

One thinks that WP:CRYSTAL would be in full effect here. One should not, and CANNOT predict the fickle ways of the consumer market. 3D television would have been here to stay, not a passing fad, if such predictions of it were true. 2601:540:8200:811:4616:B8AB:D30:EFEC (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced. Sergecross73 msg me 19:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regulation

A few salient points:

-Some discussion of torture methodology is a must for this emerging technology.

-What if it were put on a poor man and his arms were held?

would it be alright to add the quest 3 into the history section

Hi there! I’ve added it in, along with the Meta Quest Pro :) Geesi (talk) 16:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily

Virtual reality can refer to any virtual reality-emulating experience, not just a "3D" near-eye one. 69.174.140.205 (talk) 12:11, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph, last sentence, your article reads: As such, it is different from other digital visualization solutions, such as augmented virtuality and augmented reality...

Should "augmented virtuality" be changed to "mixed reality"? When you hover over "augmented virtuality" in the article, a pop-up for "mixed reality" shows...Just asking..Thanks Skullster (talk) 19:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
