Talk:Antistatic wrist strap

Merging ground bracelet with this article

I agree. It should be merged, and then ground bracelet and grounding strap should be redirected to this article. ≈≈Carolfrog≈≈♦тос♦ 20:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree --Modal Jig (talk) 20:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.240.67 (talk) 14:27, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. The two articles describe the same device, but the title of this article is the correct name used in the electronics industry. --Chetvorno^TALK 20:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge completed. --Chetvorno^TALK 21:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Pseudoscientific Hoax Products

The article says, "Wireless or Dissipative wrist straps are available, but they are widely considered as pseudoscientific hoax products by non-technicians with no electrical knowledge."

Shouldn't this read, "Wireless or Dissipative wrist straps are available, but they are widely considered as pseudoscientific hoax products by technicians with electrical knowledge." ?

My guess was "widely considered as pseudoscientific hoax products marketed by non-technicians with no electrical knowledge" or something of that sort - as it stands it does look dodgy. --GenericBob (talk) 13:52, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Wireless wrist strap edit conflict

An editor, Esd expert, has been repeatedly reverting the paragraph on wireless wrist straps, changing the text from "These are widely regarded as ineffective..." to "These are widely regarded as effective...", without sources or edit comments. Esd expert, this paragraph is supported by 5 reliable sources. As far as I have been able to tell, the opinion of the electronics industry is that these things don't work. Do you have any sources to back up your contention that they do? Cheers. --Chetvorno^TALK 04:36, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
