Spencer Hughes and external links. edit

@Drmies: Hello Drmies,

two subjects regarding your changes:

1) I can't understand your apposition regarding the profession of Spencer Hughes, because in the letter of Spencer he describes himself as laboratory technician. Because this letter has the permission of Spencer's son Derek, I think engineer must not be valid, and it makes sense to obmit this job title, doesn't it?

2) Removal of two links: You gave me Wikipedia:External links. Could you please more exact describe, which point was violated in each case from your point of view?

3) Removal of personally knew: From my point of view, it makes a difference, if a new owner knows the old one. So he knows more about the ideas and thinking behind the work of the company, especially in the "audio-area". It could be possible, the new owner is interested in the returns only ...

Please give me a feedback, although it may be short. Thank you in advance. --Wikisympathisant (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Wikisympathisant, sorry, but I don't know what you mean: what opposition? I added that he was an audio engineer because that is what his article says he was, and so that I could get rid of that rather awkward phrase "incorporating results from his research". There was nothing there to begin with, so what was I opposing? As for those two links, they are not published, reliable secondary sources. That this or that document is a letter from the man himself, anyone can say that--but more importantly, what is it supposed to add to the article? It is not even used to verify any of the information in the text. And what I said about reliability applies to the Danish website as well: links need to be to reliable sources. We don't add a bunch of links to things just because they're pretty or useful websites. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:15, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hello Drmies,
thank's for bringing light into your changings :-).
But no opposition, apposition, with A.: acc. my dictionary means it something like comment or annotation ...
A letter by the man, who founded Spendor, you think it's not reliable??? Shown with "permission to reproduce it here from Spencer's son, Derek Hughes". And please have look for the references at no. 6 it's used 3 times. Please doublecheck. Kind regards, --Wikisympathisant (talk) 20:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
