Toned down, 21 December 2005
[edit]The following para:
Allen instruments include the economical and quality-built Protégé™ Series, the Renaissance Quantum™ Series featuring four complete specifications in one console, and the revolutionary "design-it-yourself on-line" Heritage™ Series. All offer customers a product built in the United States and backed by a 10-year limited warranty.
was toned down to:
Allen instruments include the Protégé™ Series, the Renaissance Quantum™ Series with four specifications in one console, and the Heritage™ Series, which can be customised by the purchaser using an online tool. All ar ebuilt in the United States.
because to my eye it read more like an advert than an encyclopaedia article (specifically, WP deprecates the use of peacock terms). I will find out if the ™ is also deprecated, I suspect it is. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 14:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
is this article an "advert" ?
[edit]Even if few informations are usable inside an encyclopedia, I'm surprised by the aim of this article, very fanatic : "Allen is the best, the first, and so on"…
Many informations are only common informations very easy to find in the official website of Allen organ. For example, the number 80.000 is possible, but who knows if it is true ? And this number, even true, includes first and very old electronic organs that are, today, obviously dead or out of use. I think that it is very dangerous to consider alectronic organ factories like true pipe organ factories. In the firts case, electronic organ are only consummer products ; by other way, pipe organ are hand made and, normally, need to have a very long life and reliability.

Fair use rationale for Image:Allenorgans logo.jpg
[edit]
Image:Allenorgans logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Trivia section
[edit]I know that trivia sections are frowned upon in Wikipedia articles, but I could think of no other place to put one piece of info. Feel free to rewrite! EthanL (talk) 10:22, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Allen Organ or Allen organ?
[edit]Shouldn't this be Allen organ instead of Allen Organ. The Grove article uses lower case for organ. If there are no objections, I'd like to move this page. Rigaudon (talk) 21:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- If the article had been primarily about the instrument, I would agree with you; but it is primarily about the company (as the lead indicates), so if it is to be moved at all I think it should be to Allen Organ Company. Vilĉjo (talk) 11:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
