Comment on Draft:Thinking Machines Lab: Just tried to "accept" draft using AFCH tool and quickly got into deeper waters with the redirects (both article and talk page). If someone who is particularly adept at navigating redirects could help out, it would save time. Otherwise, I'll try to figure it out – though having only waded into the shallows there, it may take some thrashing about. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:49, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • This nomination just gets in the deadline for 5x expansion in the last 10 days. Some sources could be considered as less reliable, but the claims are largely uncontroversial or are the company describing itself. This does give me pause though; there are four unattributed quotes in the article, e.g., they should be either rewritten in wiki-voice or attributed to the author stating these things. The language used is decidedly non-neutral in places ("ensuring strong founding influence on the strategic direction of the lab", "hired a team of about 30 leading researchers and engineers"). I also don't find the hook used here as interesting; it's basically a mission statement. Anyone can aim to do anything. What have they done that makes the company unique other than raise a lot of money and give some investors lots of voting power? -- Reconrabbit 18:33, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT1 ... that the government of Albania invested in artificial intelligence startup Thinking Machines Lab, which required an amendment to the country's 2025 budget? Thriley (talk) 16:13, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think this hook is good! Using this source? -- Reconrabbit 01:05, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. ALT1 is far more interesting than the initial proposal. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:16, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
