Talk:Stax Earspeakers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In response GoodDaemon as to being advised not to add the Un-Official Stax webpage; i feel that would be a great err on the part of this Wiki page being that it clearly incorporates an incredible amount of technical specifications on equipment produced and listed on the wikipage but with missing info included. Rather than rip the information without permission from the Japanese website owner's page, I think it would be beneficial to all those interested in Stax to see this link. I would also like to add most of the information on this page is from the manufacturer itself which is no longer available on the manufacturer's site. As such, this is the ONLY location as to which this information is available.
Simply following the Wiki's policy on "What should be added" as I quote, "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons."
As a side note; this is the same link that is shown in the Japanese entry of this very same subject. Stax is a Japanese company, so naturally there is also no English equivalent of this site as well.
Please take the time to review, and if you feel it is still necessary not to include this link, then so be it. I should also iterate that I am in no way affiliated with the Un-Official Stax page, nor do I personally know the person(s) who created it. --Makito Kanabe (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- That may be the case, but simply adding it as an external link looks like an advertisement for a third-party page, and that is unfortunately spam. If the page is a reliable source, then it could be used to cite information, though. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a fact-sheet about a product. --GoodDamon 20:51, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- If that is the case, then it should definitely be added as looks are deceiving but we are all seeking the complete truth are we not? In any case, I'll take my leave and work on the Japanese entry and bring it up to date with the English equivalent. Happy Holidays, --Makito Kanabe (talk) 21:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- To you as well. Looking at the website in question, I don't think it would qualify as a reliable source for this article, since none of the information it provides comes from a source with a fact-checking reputation, and it can't be verified by anyone who doesn't speak Japanese. Nevertheless, I'm happy to assume good faith on your part since you're obviously not trying to vandalize this page. Are there product reviews from reputable sources that contain any of the same information? If so, those would be vastly preferable to links or citations from a fan website. --GoodDamon 22:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that the title of this page should rather be "Stax Ltd." 91.156.69.84 (talk) 07:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
