Hello, I'm M.Bitton. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pink Triangle (audio manufacturer) have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 01:35, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


 * By the way, my name is Chris Tay. I am from Singapore.  I do not have any benefit from Tru-point. I am just another customer who found a way to get my old Pink Triangle PT1 working again.  And, I thought it will be good to at least let other Pink Triangle owners be aware of this.  If you search the audio forums, there are many former PT owners who do not know what to do with their Pink Triangle turntables.  I really love this brand and hope whatever remaining examples are kept alive.  I do not benefit in any way from Tru-point.  Please feel free to edit it so that former PT owners have a path to keep this legacy of turntables alive.  Thanks once again for your kind attention to this.  Again, please feel free to edit the gist of what I am trying to say.  That there is a path to keep the PT turntables going. TarciTay (talk) 01:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Mr Bitton, I really love this Pink Triangle brand and hope whatever remaining examples are kept alive. I do not benefit in any way from Tru-point.

Again, please feel free to edit the gist of what I am trying to say. That there is a path to keep the PT turntables going. That is all.  I am sorry if I have offended you in any way.  Perhaps something simple like below.  At least, former owners have a path to keep their tables going.
 * "With the demise of the Pink Triangle Company, Pink Triangle turntable owners with damaged sapphire main bearings found True Point UK Ltd on the internet and would send them their damaged turntable bearings to be repaired. Additional restoration work was also done by True Point Audio Ltd." TarciTay (talk) 02:02, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi Mr Bitton, Actually, I am a Pink Triangle owner. I had been searching for companies to keep these very worthy turntables alive.  As such, I thought it will be good to have some sort of information on wikipedia to at least advise previous owners if they want to restore these turntables.  They do a pretty good job.  Just in case, the company tru-point was the original supplier of the Pink Triangle sapphire bearings to the Pink Triangle turntable company.   I recently managed to get my Pink Triangle working again. TarciTay (talk) 01:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, we cannot accept your original research about the company. —C.Fred (talk) 01:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood, will not do it again. TarciTay (talk) 12:55, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Sorry Fred. My most sincere apologies.  It was my first Wikipedia post.
 * I really love this Pink Triangle brand and hope whatever remaining examples are kept alive. I do not benefit in any way from Tru-point. It was just a sincere post to see how to keep former PT owners have a path to keep this legacy of turntables alive. That is all.
 * I promise not to post on the Pink Triangle Turntable wikipedia writeup again. Please do unblock my account.  I did not do this with any malicious intent or with any financial benefit.  I am just a Pink Triangle turntable fan boy that was over enthusiastic in seeing his turntable running again.  Thanks once again. TarciTay (talk) 02:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

TarciTay (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC) Specifically what productive contributions? 331dot (talk) 14:32, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I have a library of magazines that detail the history of these turntable companies such as Pink Triangle, Linn, SME, Roksan, Ariston. I can certainly help to provide citations and checks due to my interest in the Hi-Fi history of this era. TarciTay (talk) 14:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm considering giving another chance here, but I am interested in any thoughts that you have. 331dot (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm on board with giving them another chance for a couple of reasons. First, they acknowledge what they did and how it was perceived by the community. That shows a level of understanding about our guidelines and policies. Second, they engaged civilly and constructively, so they understand that we are an editing community and that working together is critical. I am willing to say that this was a big misunderstanding, put it all behind us, and let them go on with constructive editing.TarciTay: I apologize for how things went down early in your editing career. I hope you continue to grow within the community, and I expect at some point you'll see how often we have issues with promotional edits—and worse, in many cases, people being paid to edit. Your edits looked so much like that pattern that you were blocked until we determined otherwise. Happy editing!P.S. I'm not familiar with many of the brands you mentioned, but I have heard of Linn, and the Sondek LP12 in particular. That was the turntable my dad would have loved to get if he won the lottery. :) —C.Fred (talk) 14:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Fred. I probably got a long way to learn even though I am a much older person. I will be very careful and more cautious.

Linn was what most of us aspire to own back then in terms of vinyl playback. Probably, I am in the age group of your dad. The Pink Triangle was one of the counterpoint alternatives to the Linn, and from the UK. But its built quality was not its best attribute. Most of the other brands are alternatives to the Linn. In the end, we feel that the Linn was quite a bit of an over hype.

To you folks, have a great week ahead!!
