We had an earlier thread that mentioned Korg, as I recall. (In fact, I was the one who mentioned them!) It's hard to say whether they worked it out the hard way or just happened on the correct formula by happenstance, but they clearly understand that the way to promote product on Wikipedia is to never use named user accounts, try not to interact with the WP user community (at all, if possible), and when challenged, disappear and wait for the antagonist to lose interest - and then come back with a different IP address.

They don't seem to be quite as interested in the individual products, either - just the company page. Most of their products are red links. Apparently one of the company founders died a couple of weeks ago, and they're not spelling his name consistently. But hey, he was Japanese... at least they didn't try to display his name in Kanji, I'm sure they would have made a complete mess of that.

Meanwhile, I was looking at articles on products from rival companies, and couldn't help noticing that the article on the Roland Rhythm 77 (T-H-L-K-D) is one of the worst I've seen in years. (FWIW.) hmmm.gif

It looks like it was copied straight off a music students notebook. Good catch Somey, you didn't miss a beat (pardon the pun) laugh.gif
