Talk:Silent Disco

Point of view
As requested I have removed point of view content but have restored the factual information on the origins of a Silent Disco. If any one feels that the facts I have restored are for some reason unsuitable can we please disuss it rather than continually removing the text. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dizzyhead (talk • contribs) 15:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Clean Up
(Completed Bigruzzy (talk) 19:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC))

This page is becoming messy and quite unstructured it also suffers from people quoting a particular companies inaccurate views on how they created the concept. If anyone is interested in helping with this or if for some reason you think its a bad idea etc please get in touch.

I realise the whole point of wikipedia is that everyone can edit but I thought forward collaboration could help save on the constant editing this page has seen in the past Bigruzzy (talk) 22:16, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I used to look in on this a while back after I went to a couple of Silent Discos, I also recently did a mini history of the concept for a Events Management module on my course in Uni. Thus I have put a wee bit in the origins pertaining to my findings. I aim to write more if I can find the time, but it is finals coming soon. Ho hum procrastination may be neccessary.

Link
Not sure I'd call the second link exactly helpful.

web site
80.41.238.106 (talk) 12:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I run Headset Disco, a new company. Can I get a link on the page please? My web site is www.headsetdisco.com email info@headsetdisco.com Best wishes
 * No, I don't think your website is suitable for linking. It has no content which can be said to be suitable reference material.  (It also is optimized for use by Internet Explorer, by the way... if you want your site to appeal to the 'technorati', you should look into using a web author who writes code that adheres to the official specifications, so it works on all browsers.)  However, you might have good look exchanging links with some other sites.  If you had a 'links' page... User:Pedant (talk) 20:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Reverting external link
I have noticed that there is a bit of an edit war going on, with one particular external link being replaced and removed repeatedly. What is happening with this link? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 11:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Please see WP:ELNO for the types of external links not permitted in Wikipedia. Those that are commercial are included. Instead of constantly undoing edits, could those involved in this edit war please discuss the issues surrounding the removal of the links in question? That would be more helpful than just undoing other people's edits. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Might I suggest that a solution would be to remove all three links and insist that any other links to relevant media are hosted on non-commercial platforms and feature no company names or branding? If the User really doesn't have commercial interests at heart then I do not see how or why he/she would not be prepared to accept this solution.

Sounds like a good plan my way of looking at it is show them all (hence why i always restored all the links) or show none--Bigruzzy (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

If there are just a very few suppliers, I see no reason not to list a link to each of them ''provided that the link is to a page that discusses the technology used for silent discos rather than just a sales page. '' Wikipedia links to sources of information relevant to the Wikipedicle in question, rather than sources of products. Wikipedia is not a linkfarm or list of links, it is an online reference to previously published information from reliable sources. Manufacturers and vendors, if you want Wikipedia to link to you, provide some reference content of use to our readers, and if it is up to our standards, one of our editors will find it and link to it.

Recent edits by Dizzyhead
I've recently reverted edits by numerous times. I argue that this version of the article, while shorter, is more encyclopedic, free from unverifiable original research, and has the proper tone and style required of our encyclopedia. I welcome any comments. -- Zim Zala Bim talk  14:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Corrected some links that lead to nowhere and one that has had its content removed. I conceed that elements of this article may at times come across as POV, but I question the comments regarding unverifiable/original reseach and would ask that you make it clear which comments/paragraphs you are reffering to in this context. Many thanks Wowbagger The Infinitely Prolonged101 15:31 20 May 2009 (UTC)
