Talk:Bowers & Wilkins

message: Why are some "technical corporation" pages allowed and others removed? 
B&W is just one of hundreds of loudspeaker manufacturers on the planet. 
I'm not sure why ANY coporate entity is allowed to posture on Wiki - except for those rare corporations that any have some true encyclopedic interest, such as IBM. 66.82.9.61 15:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you explain what you mean exactly with 'encyclopedic interest' and why it should go for a computer company and not for a hifi company? If you look in wikipedia at -for example- game consoles, you will find an enormous amount of product and company entries. Robot1981 (talk) 20:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Much of this article seems to have been closely paraphrased from B&W's website. David1217 What I've done 17:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed/re-written some material which was pretty much verbatim from http://www.bowersandwilkins.co.uk/our%20history.html. In my view the remaining material in some parts of the Technology, research & development section does show some close paraphrasing from http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Discover/Discover/Technologies/Overview.html and and its sub-pages, but not enough to constitute a copyright violation. However, editors here should work on improving and re-writing it. The material also needs to be properly sourced with inline citations. Voceditenore (talk) 10:43, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure how true this is but I think B&W has been sold to some newly computer tech company from Silicon Valley http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-03/speaker-maker-bowers-wilkins-sells-out-to-a-tiny-silicon-valley-startup, can someone with concise information confirm this so that we can add it to the page?Bobbyshabangu talk 20:00, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
