Hello, this is Winter. I have noticed that you have reverted my edit on JBL. By reverting my edit, you are violating MOS:OL on linking countries, and you are also using the owner field incorrectly. The owner field is not meant to be used to show higher level ownership. The owner is not the owner of the parent company to the subsidiary. Please refrain from further making edits like these. ^Wiinter_U 17:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The documentation for |owner=, by my reading, doesn't seem to disallow this use. Do you have a suggestion for another way to indicate that Samsung is the ultimate owner of JBL? ~Kvng (talk) 00:50, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The company infobox documentation is more of a suggestion of what a person should do. Anyone should just use common knowledge to know that the owner is not the parent company's parent. You can't use the parent tab either, because it absolutely disallows usage. There is no field to show higher level ownership because it is not necessary. ^Wiinter_U 12:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think it not necessary to include Samsung somewhere in the infobox? We've had some POV issues with Harman articles and I'm trying to hold things where there seemed to be consensus. ~Kvng (talk) 14:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Samsung is not the direct owner or parent company of JBL. It only has ownership through Harman, not direct. Both fields are meant to show direct ownership. And specifically with the ownership field, it's intended purpose is to show ownership under 51%, multiple owners, or individuals. It is not meant for higher level ownership. ^Wiinter_U 22:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't answer my question: Why do you think it not necessary to include Samsung somewhere in the infobox? You have also not addressed the POV concern. ~Kvng (talk) 23:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed both. I'm saying that it has no place in the infobox and should be used in the lead. ^Wiinter_U 20:36, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ritijsaini (14:42, 19 November 2024)

Hi, wanted to start contributing to wikipedia. Need your guidance --Ritijsaini (talk) 14:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritijsaini, welcome! How can I help? ~Kvng (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

I've noticed 2 errors in the big table of Ethernet variants - for two rather common variants the given information on bandwidth/symbol rate/spectral efficiency is incorrect: 100Base-T1 and 100BAse-TX. See my comment on the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

This has been like that for a very long time, and I'm a bit hesitant to just change it now after 10 years - I'm not sure if I'm missing something about the process, but I am sure about the technical properties and there are sources in text books that have it correct (you have to pay for them though; many public sources seem to copy Wikipedia, so on the open internet the incorrect values are found more frequently than the correct ones).

CED VHS revert

Hi. I noticed that you reverted my edit on the CED/VHS part. I merely edited the text so it'd look more professional and encyclopedic.

What mistake did I made to warrant a revert and if you're okay with, suggest me an alternative if my edit didn't work? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 20:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume we're talking about this. The original statement was slightly better than VHS. Your revision made it say slightly better than, or comparable to the VHS. The cited source says The subjective evaluation of people familiar with all these formats is that CED is better than VHS. Your revised statment takes us further from what the source says. What were you attempting to accomplish with this edit? You left no edit summary that could help me. ~Kvng (talk) 22:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing the grammar to make it more encyclopedic. If that didn't work, what's the alternative? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 12:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HarlambiDaabrev, what was wrong with the grammar? "Encyclopedic" means different things to different editors. What does it mean to you? ~Kvng (talk) 13:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To me it sounds more professional. Correct me if I'm wrong. HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 14:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HarlambiDaabrev, I'm not getting that. It sounds more ambiguous. I guess if you're in marketing that could translate to more professional. ~Kvng (talk) 14:20, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that's more ambiguous, then what's the alternative? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving it as it is is the obvious alternative. Adding the whose picture quality is qualifier is arguably an improvement but I think this is already evident from context. ~Kvng (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
