Merge articles

Having two separate articles Silicon Graphics and Silicon Graphics International is inconsistent with how Wikipedia handles other similar situations. For example, there is only one Honeywell article, which covers both the original Honeywell and the Honeywell after it was acquired by Allied Signal (which took the Honeywell name, just as Rackable took the SGI name).

I have no idea if this is supposed to be the case. However, I would be certain that both the original Silicon Graphics and the Rackable-related Silicon Graphics International company should be covered in Silicon Graphics, while both articles should exist. My response is late, I know. VO/odood 14:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Grammer

Are the red words mispelled and the blue words contain a grammatical error in Wiki? ~2025-37000-69 (talk) 05:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi ~2025-37000-69! No; red links simply mean that the article or page that it links to doesn't exist. Blue links are the opposite; they mean that the article or page that it links to does exist. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:49, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

WP FANCRUFT and WP DIRECTORY

Came across of these articles have a ton of external links to fan sites and specific PDFs as the bottom.

I would think that the three links that I mentioned below qualify as being removed under FANCRUFT/DIRECTORY rules. It's fine if people want to cite, but it appears IRIX Network and Silicon Graphics User Group are social media sites.

Linking to resources might be okay but external links should not be used for advertising social media am I correct? ~2026-46282-7 (talk) 22:44, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Where’s Cray Research?

Missing from article is SGI’s brief (1996-2000) but important ownership of Cray Research, which became successful after regaining independence & is now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise ~2026-26632-59 (talk) 12:44, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
