I have removed the word from the article per your request. Please note that anyone, including you can edit the article, just give a good reason in the edit summery so it is not undone. HighInBC 16:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phonak / GN buyout

the phonak group purchased GN Resound in October 2006; the phonak group will consist of phonak, unitron, GN danavox, resound, beltone, philips (absorbed into beltone) and viennatone (gone?) in 1Q2007 assuming the merger doesn't get hung up. Aaron

This sale has not yet closed, so it is not accurate to state that "The Phonak Group includes Phonak, ReSound, Unitron Hearing, Interton, and Beltone as hearing instrument manufacturers and distributors." I have, therefore, removed the text. 205.242.218.72 21:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Viennatone (guess from wich city it comes from) became a part of Hansaton, which is the Austrian division of Phonak. --NewAtair Δ 23:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Phonak AG Logo.png

Image:Phonak AG Logo.png 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 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.BetacommandBot 06:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
