Where's the dispute?
The dispute concerns contents on the Steinway & Sons page.

What's the dispute?
Information is being altered which removed the neutrality of the article. In particular, User:fanoftheworld is adding laudatory quotes and other material directly from Steinway's sales brochure. He is also altering quotes (such as Artur Schnabel's quote) and tagging rather extensive edits as "minor." If you review the edit history, it's clear this user is attempting to slant the article into a "pro-Steinway" direction.THD3 (talk) 14:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * User:fanoftheworld, is mentioned in the text above, and says:
 * All alterings are well documented with references so the neutrality of the article is not removed. Read the references.
 * Many of the references I have used are not from Steinway's Website or a so-called "Steinway's sales brochure".
 * Artur Schnabel's quote is not altered. There is just added one quote more - from the same reference that User:THD3 used. I don't think this can remove the neutrality, I think its add neutrality.
 * Tagging some edits as "minor" was a mistake and that mistake has not been done after User:THD3 told me about the rules of "minor". I'm sorry about the mistakes.
 * My critical opinion about User:THD3 beeing a little disloyal to the references will I eschew to mention here. Fanoftheworld (talk) 13:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding the sentence "If you review the edit history, it's clear this user is attempting to slant the article into a "pro-Steinway" direction" that User:THD3 added after I wrote my text above:
 * I hope that the reader of this project sees that User:THD3 doesn't want to relate and respond to the issue's facts that I did above. The claims from User:THD3 (and especially his last sentence) is a very fast way to draw a conclusion and his assertion is untenable. User:THD3's claims and conclusions are very subjective, I will say that they rest on fragile foundations because he obvious rejects to read the article's references carrefully.
 * Furthermore User:THD3 has used reference that did not support the sentence he wrote in the article. Maybe User:THD3 tries to remove the neutrality of the article... Fanoftheworld (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
