Talk:Leviton

I keep uploading information, and someone keeps erasing it saying that it is blatant advertising. So I've changed it and it is no longer in any shape or form advertising... if they would read it, instead of just erasing it everytime, they would see it isn't. - krieglax23

I removed the text below due to the extreme bias shown. - Kenwarren 18:28, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)

Leviton mass produces low-end residential quality electrical products. These products include cheap snap-together brass light sockets that use a cardboard insulator between the live electrical terminals and the metal housing. Since there is no ground connection, it is common to receive an electric shock from a light fixture or metal lamp, if it uses a Leviton socket.

Leviton also manufactures electrical switches. Leviton's 4-way switch (a polarity-reversing switch also used for turning lights on and off from one floor of a stairwell where there are at least two other 3-way switches) has proven to be defective.

LevitOFF: A compendium of experiences and anecdotes about problems with LevitON products

Ripped off text.

The contents of the article seem to have been copied directly out of a Leviton press release. Can we cut out the plagiarized marketing-speak and have a real write-up on the company and its products? Rusty 22:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

There we go

Now it's no longer a "rip-off". But, it needs more work. Leviton is a huge company. We also need a logo and some pictures.

I'll remove the stub catagory tag soon; unless someone objects? --Charles Gaudette 20:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Some of the text, particularly the timeline, appears to be a copyright violation and to have been taken from the company's web site. Reliable, neutral sources should be cited, rather than the company's site. --Eastmain 18:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Patent Lawsuit

Could someone re-add this to the article? Krieglax23 removed this before he/she was blocked and I think it is worth mentioning. Rookwood^{Dept. of Mysteries} 22:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
