Talk:MC4 connector

This page reads like an advertisement for Multi-Contact brand connectors - For example: "MC4 connectors are equipped with Multilam Technology for high energy-efficiency and long product life." (under description). It also mentions several times that using any competitor's connectors is against the law, not safe, etc., and implied that you cannot use any other manufacturers products for hooking up PV panels, which. I was expecting more technical info about MC4 type connectors, not an ad for this specific manufacturer. Markbulla (talk) 21:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It does seem like there is some content written as an advertisement here. However, do know that MC 4 is a specific brand of solar panel connector. If we want to have an article about quick connect solar panel connectors then we should have a separate article for that. There’s MC4 made by the German group and H4, which is quite similar and made by Amphenol. And there’s many other brands, some of them reputable?manufacturers and others of them knock offs. But the MC4 product is from one particular company and it is not a general term used to describe 4 mm solar panel connectors. 107.77.202.8 (talk) 00:25, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

This page has been edited by SolarSpec several times to remove NPOV content and replace with press-release style content. Example edits include this one where information about the history of Radox and MC3 and competitor products were removed and this one where one uncited claim of product success was replaced with another uncited claim of product success. Flagging as News Release. StuartLivings (talk) 15:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

wrong pictures
Pictures shown are not from original manufacturer MC (www.multi-contact.com) they are copies. Originals have black O-Rings not orange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.8.16.246 (talk) 07:14, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Strong bias showing in page, unsourced
The manufacturer has admitted in edits listed [|above], to editing this article in violation of NPOV and OR. It looks like they were banned, but will likely continue to try to make edits. Specifically about how "other products are inferior/unsafe/unworthy", this seems to be a common theme in the edits, and can likely be used to identify future edits by the source violating WP:OR. I will watchlist but I'm not able to edit as often as I'd like. Angryredplanet (talk) 20:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
