The Bose edit you removed was not vandalism, and calling it as such just reveals your bias. One of the major complaints about Bose cube systems is that they neglect 1/3 of audible frequencies. This is fact, and should be a part of the criticism section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.138.212 (talk) 07:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

No Bias, this link violates two official policies of the English Wikipedia: WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable source. And was warned as such on the article just above your insertion, hence the comment about vandalism. If it was in good faith please except my apology. This has been discussed ad nauseum on the talk page for many years now. The fact is this is a personal blog and does not belong on wikipedia. -- Phoenix (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, then how do you justify this statement being allowed?

"Audio forums tend to talk about the non-linear frequency response of certain Bose systems."

How is the verifiable and from a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.176.49.46 (talk) 17:57, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Good point I guess it should be removed. I would love for you to find any wp:reliable sources though. So if you do please add them or if you are unsure just bring it to the talk page. -- Phoenix (talk) 04:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Apparently, the August 1999 issue of Sound and Vision magazine has the measured frequency response (showing both the non-linear nature as well as the frequency gaps), but unfortunately what's available online only seems to go back as far as 2002. Can you use a reference that isn't available online? What if I find the issue in a local library?

Also, I'm a bit confused as to why you need a reliable source when the statements in question are just talking about comments on forums. Should references to forum postings be enough to support the statement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.138.212 (talk) 05:24, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Have you checked google books? They usually have scanned images of books and magazines. Well if I remember correctly it used to be referenced by actual examples on forums but they got removed because it is against official wiki policy to link to such sites. -- Phoenix (talk) 06:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I just looked at Google Books and didn't see any old issues of Sound and Vision. There's somebody on ebay that has the issue that's willing to scan/email me the article. If I make a scanned copy of the article available online is that sufficient? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.138.212 (talk) 16:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Huh, I honestly don't know. My assumption would be yes. It would also assume that they or some other scientific lab were the origins of the data and that the image has not been tampered with. Why don't you join Wikipedia? Or if you are already a member log in ;-) -- Phoenix (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of references, one thing that would be great is if you could include reference templates. It adds a lot of value when people are checking a source rather than have to jump to another cite. Some good finds there by the way.Mattnad (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

You are correct. I am sorry if that has made things more cluttered. I have just been searching for refs and inserting them quickly before people revert them... as has been happening. But could you check the sources I have provided and notice that the statement you are inputting is no longer precise instead of reverting? -- Phoenix (talk) 23:03, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I see a case for "high end audio". What I'd like to also add, based on the sources provided, what they are referring to. So Bose does not do "high-end" separates which is norm for the industy, but usually integrated things like lifestyle systems, cd radios, satellite speakers, and ipod speakers, as well as automotive speaker systems. The 901 Speakers are somewhat of an outlier in that they are more of a separates but even those include some additional outboard electronics to shape the sound and those speakers, according to the only reliable source, are decidedly not high-end in performance. Mattnad (talk) 18:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

As I have said from the get go I dont think Bose is High End. But I do believe that the lay person on the street thinks that Bose is, and the sources provided originally, and conversations that I have personally had with people have proven that. I believe that it is clumsily worded listing out essentially all of Boses products when one word does the same thing. I could probably find references for other stereo speakers like the 301's or 701's, but cant we agree that enough sources are provided to show what the general public thinks? -- Phoenix (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I think there's a definitely a perception that Bose makes big sound in small packages and that their products are expensive and technologically innovative. But I haven't seen a study that people think Bose makes "high end audio", in part because most of the general public don't use those terms. It's really used more by people who care about audio. Hence the ongoing disconnects between what we see in print and common vernacular (can a desktop radio be in the same class as a krell amp mated to Pro-Ac speakers?) "High-end audio" may be more of a term of art - meaning it has specific definitions. I will grant that now that I've read the aweful High-end audio article, that allows for pretty much anything provided it's expensive.

An indirect parallel is the misunderstanding of the meaning of the term "Theory of Evolution" by creationists who claim that "Evolution is a theory and not a proven fact". The word "theory' means something very different in science vs. common parlance.Mattnad (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

That is a different argument than saying that the public sees bose as a maker of high end audio. Just because people "in the know" have a better understanding what that means does not preclude the public from their belief. -- Phoenix (talk) 22:51, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

The EU has recently been confirmed as a great power here: http://www.delaus.ec.europa.eu/News&events/speeches/2010/JR_DefenceAcademy19042010.pdf It's as academic as you can get. I have added it to the article, however the world map showing current governments regarded as Great Powers, and the list of Great Powers by date need updating to include the EU. Recon.Army (talk) 20:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I dont believe that the conclusion is a clear cut as you thought

"So, can we reach any judgements about whether the EU qualifies as a 'great power'? I think we can, but in a nuanced way. As we have seen from the above, the EU comes out rather well even using the conventional comparators... Overall in today's world we should perhaps regard the EU as a ‘modern’ power, but one that gets results. And the question whether the European Union is a ‘great power’ is one I feel I can safely leave in the hands of the audience."

The author backtracks in the end and says that it is almost a great power. Not only that I dont believe that a politicians speech is considered academic, even if it was at a school ;-) -- Phoenix (talk) 21:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have a comment to the Template:Paralympic Games. The reason I had for adding the 2018 and 2022 Winter Games years, and the 2020, 2024 and 2028 SG years to the template, was that they have been added to the Template:Olympic Games. If it is the standard for the Olympic Games template, could it be the standard for the Paralympic Games template too? Maybe create redirects to the Olympic articles, since the text in those articles is mostly about the bidding, which includes the Paralympic Games, or create stubs. And then about the color of the wikilinks, I changed the color to the same old blue, because of reading this Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability/Color. The red link can look like it has no article, and the black link can look like it is text, not a link. Bib (talk) 23:44, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey Pheonix! I would like to request your assistance in a newly created article recently linked to the Potential superpowers-page - India as a rising superpower. In my opinion, the article should be deleted on the grounds that we already have an article on India's superpower-status and that the article, India as a rising superpower, is full of SYN and OR, but all I ask is that you take a look and give your two cents about it. Also check the discussion page for more.Swedish pirate (talk) 17:26, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis, currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=91727563 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 09:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 08:22, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid the Great power article is once again open to attack and lo and behold it is, this time by an annon IP editor (or two). It's the same edits as were made before the page was protected a while ago. The article needs protecting once again I'm afraid. David (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

attack from what ? your original synth or what , Dpaajones is not civil please see the great power talkpage and his other edits 95.199.138.200 (talk) 14:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on User:Phoenix79/Bose product sightings, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
