Brand promotion on USV page
Hi Wikipedia Volunteers,

I’m writing to get your advice on potential brand bias on this unmanned surface vehicle page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_surface_vehicle). A single brand, Saildrone, has added a whole section about their company. Our company makes the Wave Glider, the first wave and solar powered unmanned surface vehicle, operational for many years before Saildrone.

I could edit the page to add a similar factual section on Wave Gliders as a type of USV, but it seems counter to the mission of Wikipedia to turn this USV page into a page full of various brands. Instead, we have tried to be respectful of the USV page and the overall integrity of Wikipedia; it seems like a better solution might be to remove the Saildrone section and instead include a small mention of Saildrone elsewhere with a link to a separate page on it (like we have done with the Wave Glider).

Please let me know what path you recommend – add Wave Glider section to the USV page, or remove Saildrone section?

Appreciate your advice, and thank you for all the work you do. Thanks, Leigh @ Liquid Robotics
