Fair use rationale for Image:DGlogo.jpg
Image:DGlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

 * Added formal fair use rationale. Steelbeard1 (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Neutral tone, sourcing
The last two grafs of this article suddenly adopt an informal tone and make some dubious assertions about DG and the record industry as a whole. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 00:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I second Alarob, the last two pages of this are terribly written. I do not have the expertise to rewrite them but came really close to removing them.

 * It's pretty much established consensus within the classical recordings/listeners community that DG often equals splendid sound - okay, some would rant that it can get too glossy, but I don't think you'd find too many informed people who'd deny that they are known for it. But saying they are known because they had Karajan is silly, belittling to both sides. Quite apart from Karajan they have a very impressive roster/back catalog - and had so already in the sixties.

Proposed merge with 4D Audio Recording system
I found 4D Audio Recording system while stub sorting. It's, of course, a stub, with only one primary source contained within it. I dream of horses (T) @ 04:22, 10 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Support — Add the sentence "Deutsche Grammophon developed their 4D Audio Recording system in the 1990s". Simple. Eman 235 / talk  22:22, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ it'd make sense as a separate article if it'd be a proper article, not just a stub. SkywalkerPL (talk) 09:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

The History
Deutsche Grammophon GmbH was originally founded on 6th December 1898 by the German brothers Joseph, Jacob and Emile Berliner. On June 27th 1900 the company was reorganized to become an AG. Shares were owned by Deutsche Grammophon, Orpheus Musikwerke GmbH and by The Gramophone Co. Ltd. and the administrative headquarter was relocated from Hanover to Berlin. From 1900 to 1937 the company generally traded as Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft. Already 1913 almost the whole German branch was located in Middlesex in Britain. It's told that the factory was empty in 1916 and even the company did not exist in 1917. April 24th 1917 Deutsche Grammophon AG was taken as enemies property of war and given to Polyphon-Musikwerke AG, Leipzig. The company was renamed 1918 to Polyphonwerke AG and located in Berlin. Polyphon had already 2nd of April 1913 founded label Polydor. US citizens Emile Berliner's company founded Electrola instead to Germany. Again 1937 the AG was liquidated and reorganized to become Deutsche Grammophon GmbH. Telefunken, Telegraphie mbH was major shareholder. Like told: Deutsche Grammophon GmbH was purchased by the Siemens & Halske AG electronics company in 1941. The headquarter was relocated to Hanover again in 1945. --Propaganda (talk) 01:32, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
