Expanding the article

[edit]

Hi, this article is very brief and incomplete. I've put together some suggestions for updating it:

Thank you, Spring765 (talk) 15:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work here, Deamonpen. I've reviewed all your additions and wanted to discuss a couple points:
  • The History section implies that Scott Nolan left Founders Fund, but he's actually still a partner there, as stated in current references 1, 4, and 6. Would you please reword the second sentence in the paragraph to reflect this, and delete the fourth sentence which says he left Founders Fund?
  • In the last three paragraphs of Mission and technology, there are some details taken from the sources which don't seem in line with WP:UNDUE and WP:EXCESSDETAIL, such as: quotes from the company regarding its technologies, a point about licensing from rivals, and arguments from critics of HALEU, which are more general and not necessarily related to the company specifically. Can you please remove the content? I'm happy to show you the specific sentences, if you'd prefer. Thanks, Spring765 (talk) 16:36, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is said that Nolan "will focus on General Matter", so I will change to that. I have just checked back FF website and he is still there too (but they are already recruiting/training new partners, it seems).
I understand that nuclear is hard. There is significant coverage though, I will try to summarize a bit more. Deamonpen (talk) 02:49, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Deamonpen! There is still some detail in Mission and technology which doesn't seem to belong:
  • The last paragraph of the section relates to critics of HALEU and isn't relevant to General Matter itself. Would you please remove it?
  • The third to last paragraph of the section (which begins "Although the firm...") has details and direct quotes which are speculative at this point and therefore less relevant for the article. Would you consider updating it to read:
Although the firm describes its technology as "novel" and "scalable", sSpecific details about the company's enrichment process have not yet been publicly disclosed.[1][2] Nolan only disclosed that, like SpaceX, the firm is "going back to first principles."[3]
