Talk:Schindler Group

message: I have deleted the whole paragraph about accidents because in my view it violates Wikipedia's priciple of neutrality. Elevators and escalators are the safest means of transport. Although extremly rarely, accidents happen from time to time. All manufacturers and service companies are affected. And there is absolutely no proof that the equiment of one manufacturer has more incidents than others. Moreover, all manufacturers have to comply with the safty prescriptions. So, to link Schindler so prominently to accidents is not fair, incorrect and biased. If ever, as a consequence, such a paragraph must be added to all manufacturers. Moreover, there is a Wikipedia page on elevator accidents.       —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loris-42 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Otis a japanese company? 

message: "Elevators are extremely safe. Their safety record with extremely low rate of incident, is unsurpassed by any other transport system. This is true for installations of all major elevator manufacturers. In most countries elevators have to comply with strict safety regulations. However, fatalities – mainly due to unsafe behavior of passengers or in very rare cases due to malfunctions – have occurred on occasion."
How's this relevant to this article? It belongs in the article for elevators alone, not that for a manufacturer of them. I'll remove in one week if no objections. TheIslander 22:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Elevator Saftey

message: The Japanese Safety section is not only poorly written and without sources, but is also totally irrelevant. The article states that Schindler was not on contract to service the unit, but Japan Power/SCE was. Therefore Schindler has little if any relation to the accident. In the elevator industry, a manufacturer such as Schindler, designs, builds, and installs elevators. In addition, Schindler and all the major manufacturers offer service, but the property owner can choose any service company to maintain the elevator. It is then the responsibility of the contracted service provider that the elevator is in safe working condition. 
The article then goes on to state that a small number Schindler Elevators entrapped passengers in Japan. Entrapments occur on a daily basis and are not life threatening to passengers. Elevators of any manufacturer and vintage-- like any mechanical equipment-- are prone to occasional failure due to power outages, equipment failure, etc. Mentioning this in an encyclopedia article about Schindler would be akin to mentioning in an article about Honda that some of its vehicles may fail to start on occasion or make "strange noises".
I propose that the entire section be deleted.

thread_title:  Safety In Japan 

message: The paragraph on the Miconic 10 controls read as if it were an ad for the product. I have cleaned it up to make it sound unbiased and added a source for the material.

replies: text: Moved down the page below history, as 2nd paragraph is effectively part of the lead, and looks too ad. like. Added links to some other major manufacturers for balance as well. - BulldozerD11 (talk) 12:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
