Bosendorfer addition

The Bosendorfer tone is "sweet". With a "fullness" of "body" and a "richness" of tone. Your insertions in the Bosendorfer article have a strong tendency toward advertisements. And the "literal heavyweight" Imperial grand piano seems to imply that not only is Bosendorfer the best piano (the non-literal heavyweight), it weighs a lot. Of course, this is not to say the Imperial does not weigh a lot (which it does!).

Advertisements are not permitted on Wikipedia. The sections you inserted have an unfortunate tendency toward ads. However, you are not nearly as bad as User:MichaelIsGreat. MichaelIsGreat kept inserting a huge section on the CEUS Computer Grand Piano, which is a new Bosendorfer reproducing piano. The section kept getting removed by editors, of which I was one. The section was obviously an ad, and took up more space than the rest of the article. Instead of complying, MichaelIsGreat kept inserting the section, threatening with comments like "They are censoring me!" and "The mad people who delete my postings, GO BACK TO YOUR MAD HOUSE!". He never gave up. Eventually the threats got so bad that he was banned from editing.

Evidently you do not edit Wikipedia a lot- it's been about 5 months since you inserted the sections! If you have an argument for keeping the sections, then we can continue discussing. Otherwise, I may delete it.

Don't worry though. First of all, you have chosen to discuss the topic, rather than resort to insulting comments. Second of all, the time when you inserted the sections was right after the MichaelIsGreat edit war, so that's why I quickly deleted it as an ad. Third of all, unlike MichaelIsGreat, you're actually a nice guy! SupaStarGirl 13:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I will rearrange the text into something that does not look like an ad. SupaStarGirl 17:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good re-addition of info. The Imperial, however, has 97 keys.

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article FSA Corporation, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Article on FSA broadened to better show its historical context

Additional context for FSA Corporation added, tying it to IBM, Symantec, and McAfee's histories, and also commenting on Theo de Raadt's history at the company.
