Talk:NEXUS

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Paine Ellsworth in topic Requested move 18 April 2019

Rephrase to remove advertisement-like tone

edit

I rephrased pretty much the whole document to make it read less like a government brochure advertising NEXUS, and more like a Wikipedia article (at the suggestion of the previous editor). I tried to avoid any obvious Americanisms (is 'traveler' acceptable in Canada, or only 'traveller'?), and to say the same thing but in fewer words and with less government jargon ('marine mode', anyone?).

Is Nexus really a government project or is it actually a commercial project? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.195.30 (talk) 03:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Its a government program. - 2 ... says you, says me 05:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to start a section detailing the down side to a "trusted traveler" program to include examples of travelers feeling that they are above to need to be inspected at the border as well as drug seizures that come out of the nexus lane. Any help with links to articles to this effect would be greatly appreciated. Just post them here if you would, and when enough have been gathered, I'll add the section to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.147.251 (talk) 21:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Breaking news

I'm just turning in for the night (I'm on UTC), but U.S. revokes all Nexus cards from Canadian permanent residents with citizenship in restricted countries: CBSA may be worth mentioning. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:22, 4 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 18 April 2019

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved. See clear general agreement that the present qualifier is either incorrect or unnecessary disambiguation, so it should be either altered or eliminated. Don't see consensus as to which, so this article will be moved to NEXUS with no qualifier. In accord with the closing instructions, "If anyone objects to the closer's choice, they may make another move request immediately, hopefully to its final resting place." Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) Paine Ellsworth, ed.  put'r there  15:19, 11 May 2019 (UTC)Reply


NEXUS (frequent traveler program)Nexus (border control program) – Per MOS:ALLCAPS / MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM, ordinary English formatting should be used rather than promotional all-caps styling. The name is obviously intended to be pronounced as a word, and no unabbreviated form of an initialism is evident. I notice only two independent (i.e., non-government) sources that are cited either in the article or here on the talk page: this and this. Both of them use "Nexus", not "NEXUS". Also, it is a government-operated border control program, not a frequent flyer club. The program is based on filling out an application, passing a background check, and paying a fee – not how frequently someone travels. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:18, 18 April 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. -- Dane talk 05:27, 27 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Personally, I also find the phrase "border control program" to be a much more clear description than "traveler program". (And "traveler" might tend to be spelled as "traveller" in Canadian English, as noted in both the Canadian English and American and British English spelling differences articles.) —BarrelProof (talk) 22:20, 19 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
I wouldn't give any credence to that category name. These programs are described using a number of different ways. That said, I still oppose the original move request, but would not object to NEXUS (border program)... dropping "control" satisfies my concern about interpretation above, and is more CONCISE. -- Netoholic @ 06:31, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
What do you think of NEXUS (border entry program)? —BarrelProof (talk) 01:40, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Not as concise compared to NEXUS (border program) or NEXUS (customs program). -- Netoholic @ 02:06, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
