added the link

Had to learn how to reference links before I could add the link, that's done now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rafaleaz (talk • contribs) 16:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

How does this work? Is it regular FM radio headphones or is this special equipment? Just curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.161.1 (talk) 17:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of Mobile Clubbing

Mobile Clubbing is just a subset of silent disco, and the content is less developed than this main article. I propose it be merged. Fences and windows (talk) 01:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile Clubbing is not a subset of silent disco. It was independently conceived, functions differently and to with a different underlying concept to it, first that it is flash mob whereas Silent Disco is not - a point already made in the Silent Disco article where it mentions a silent disco event being 'mistaken' for a flash mob by the media. So a merger per se would be misleading, but a piece exploring the development of these similar but fundamentally distinct and autonomously conceived events would be good, while leaving hte original pages Silent Disco, Mobile Clubbing - separate. robinoi@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.211.234 (talk) 12:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding information with commercial interests

Recently this article has been subject to links and information being added that contains commercial interests with direct links to commercial sites and unsubstantiated claims. In the most recent edit of this nature a claim that the term was coined in 2002 by a pair of dutch DJs contained a reference to an article from 2005 which stated that the concept and not the name was concieved in 2002. As the film Ruusujen Aika and the BBC news article both predate 2002 the concept using headphones in place of amplifed speakers was concieved prior to 2002. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Error78 (talk • contribs) 11:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other areas

Can someone include a portion about silent discos in other countries?

They've been going on in South Korea for at least a few years now in the Hongdae area

This does need to be done but from an unbias perspective and only to include notable events and not just that they simply have occured in a country as 10s of countries have played host to these events Error78 (talk) 10:34, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spontaneous voices at silent discos

Should there be a section on spontaneous voices at silent discos, especially in the UK? For example:
