Talk:George Lowden

message: I just don't see how its any different from the entries for other world famous guitars makers like Del Langejans or Dana Bourgeois. Maybe my user name is clouding the issue, but, I'm just one of the thousands of fans of his work. delete if you wish, after all, its is your choice.

message: :Image:Lowdenlogo1.gif 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 Wikipedia: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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: This page seems awfully close to the company's website. I hesitate to put the big scary copyvio template on the page. Any suggestions? --AndrewHowse (talk) 20:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This entry was probably written by George Lowden. In it, he references several matters of a legal nature including receivership of his company and disputes with a company called Sarcon 54 Ltd. (He incorrectly states that Sarcon 54 is now called Avalon Guitars Ltd.)
As a party to some of the legal disputes he refers to, I am aware that matters he presents as fact are allegations that formed part of his litigation against the Lowden Guitar Co. Ltd. and its directors. There is an inference that his allegations had merit based on the outcomes he outlines when he is merely expressing a subjective opinion. 
A significant part of this entry is a biased and unbalanced account of these proceedings which is not in the spirit of the NPOV guidelines.

replies: text: Even though you editing the article would technically be a conflict of interest, I think you should go ahead and remove whatever material you think is biased legal stuff. This article was really terrible before I cut it up - I think it was mostly just copied from his website. So I don't doubt that some of the stuff I left shouldn't be there. Just don't add your own take - simply remove any NPOV material you see. I don't think you'll get any argument about it. Conical Johnson (talk) 04:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
