Talk:Clarinet makers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New page split off from clarinet. None of the lists makes any claim to completeness, and in particular the historical makers, reed makers, and ligature makers lists are very stubby. Rsholmes 14:52, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- And this turns wikipedia in a section of the yellow pages.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leuk he (talk • contribs)
[edit] External links
Such a long list of external links is pointless. I don't think we need to link them at all; people know how to use Google. If the company is notable enough for a wikipedia article, their website can be linked there. --Fang Aili talk 20:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Some of these are pretty hard to find using Google. That's a general truism; a list of links for a specialized topic is generally much more efficient to use than a search engine. I grant that Wikipedia may not be the appropriate place for such a list -- but that's a different criticism. -- Rsholmes 21:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

- Actually on reflection I think the external links should be deleted, and maybe there should be other changes. I've had some doubts about the appropriateness of the article as presently formatted for a while, but not until recently has anyone confirmed those doubts. What I'd like to do is use it as the basis for a page on my own clarinet wiki (in fact I've already done so) and convert this into something more suitable for WP. I'm thinking the tabular format should go, in favor of simple lists of makers. I think the tables are not really appropriate for WP, and that they are a disincentive to updating. Perhaps also the lists should be confined to notable makers, but judging notability in this area is very difficult. I'd be happy to hear other suggestions. -- Rsholmes 00:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename
Surely this should be renamed 'List of clarinet makers'? Ben Finn 20:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
