Talk:Jet Ski/Archives/2013

Brand Name
Right now the entry to the article is about how Jet Ski is a brand name. This reads like someone is trying to protect their trademark via editing wikipedia. As someone who has gone Jet Skinning I never have asked for a Wave Runner or Personal Water Craft. I ask for a Jet Ski and the guy dosen't say "Sorry we only rent Wave Runners here." In short the entry should be changed to describe Personal Water Craft and move nameing issues someplace else Lotu (talk) 05:30, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

There is already a PWC article. The Jet Ski article seems to be mostly about PWCs in general, though. I feel like the relevant information in this article should be merged with the PWC article, and that this article should be about the Jet Ski brand only. Amk29j (talk) 01:37, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I've corrected the article, Jet Ski is a trademark and while the term has entered generic usage, it is still covered by the courts as an active trademark. The difference is that anyone can use the term Yo-yo despite it once being owned by Papa's Toy Co. Ltd. since 1965 it has been 'generic' and anyone can use the term. Though I did update it to reflect that not all Jet Skis or jet skis are 'personal' as they can carry 2 or more riders. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:34, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Picture
We are in desperate need of a picture here, or the article would be half incomprehensible.Keith Galveston (talk) 15:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

how does a jetski work?
This article doesn't explain how the technolodgy works? what type of engine and how is thrust produced? How does it steer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.202.202.20 (talk) 19:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Brands
The opening needs much work, especially the last sentence that states sit down PWC are called wave runners. Wave runners are Yamaha's model and have nothing to do with this topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.76.242 (talk) 08:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Jet Ski Travel Section
Jet Ski tours and rentals are very popular in travel destinations and would be a good section to add.Keysman (talk) 18:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
