Compact Cassette

Just looking for suggestions for improvement before sending this to FA. I think it's well-sourced, the pictures are relevant, and it's reasonably comprehensive. Any input is appreciated. Thanks - Kafziel 22:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very good article. The final three sections look unfinished: undercited with short choppy paragraphs. The material seems to be there - it just needs a polish. For what it's worth, in German the loanword die Cassette is unusual in being feminine (most loanwords are neuter). Durova 04:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some copyediting, added some pictures and citations. Could still use polishing, but I think it's much improved. Thanks for the suggestions. Kafziel 21:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture with the write protect tabs (with four cassettes shown) should explain that removing the tab will prohibit writing, whereas the normal position (with the tabs in place) will allow writing. The text in the "Write-protection" section explains it properly, but the picture is misleading. Also, the sentence "Pioneer's angled cassette bay and the exposed bays of some Sansui models, they were eventually standardized as a front-loading door into which a cassette would be loaded." is confusing. The first clause appears to be a sentence fragment that doesn't make sense to me. Also, the Walkman is mentioned in three or four different places; maybe those references could be unified. Other than that, the article is interesting, informative, and thorough, so you're well on your way. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 21:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, done, and done. The walkman is now only mentioned once in the "history" section and once in the "players" section. Thanks for the input, and for the typo fixes you made yourself. Always helps to have another set of eyes. Kafziel 21:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
