Picture of Matsushita company building
The picture had been titled "Headquarter of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. in Kadoma, Osaka, Japan", which is not correct. The building hosts several corporate R&D labs and product development divisions.
Thus I've changed the title and also added a note about the Matsushita Electric House of History that we can see on the left.

Merge tags
Panasonic and National are well-known brands. Panasonic actually has more hits than Matsushita. Looking at the GE article for example, its subsidiaries have their own articles as well. As such I feel a merge is not necessary, except perhaps Panasonic Corporation of North America which may be merged into Panasonic. Shawnc 23:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Pronunciation
The article claims that "The correct English as well as Japanese pronunciation for the company is Mahtsu-sheeta." The only time I've heard it pronounced is by Michael Ovitz in the documentary "The Last Mogul"; he said "mat-soosh'-da". The Linux CD-ROM HOWTO says "I'm told that the correct pronunciation it something like MAT-SOOSH-TA." 1. Neither source is especially authoritative, but what is the source for the current version in the article? Jaufrec 04:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have only beginner knowledge of Japanese pronunciation, but the "standard" rules I think would give something like "Ma-tsu-shi-ta." I'm sure there must be a native speaker around who can advise? Icd 06:59, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The article now appears to have the correct (Japanese) pronounciation, but I'm curious as to what it means to have a "correct English pronounciation" - does this mean that after a while of mispronouncing the correct Japanese pronounciation something becomes the correct English pronounciation? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.0.57.171 (talk • contribs) 10:49, May 30, 2006 (UTC)
- The anon. user presents an entertaining question, but it is not much help in an English encyclopedia! Those persons I know who have lived in Japan assure me the company name sounds like three syllables in English, as indicated by Jaufrec. Perhaps Japanese has colloquial pronunciations that don't follow the "standard rules", just like English does. --Blainster 05:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Shita is a funny word
Logo
Does anyone have a picture of the logo? It looks like a hollow triangle with three smaller, filled triangles, one on each point.

Complaint against the design of Multi-DR Refrigerator NR-D41AIH
I'm not if this is where I can lodge my complaint against the design of the captioned model. If required, please direct my comment to the proper channel.
Being a loyal Panasonic customer, I bought its most expensive refrigerator of the time five years ago (costing me HK$12,849.00), and took good care of it. To my great surprise and disappointment, leaks were found all over the interior surface early this year, followed by water leakage over the sliding door of the freezer compartment. Worse still, the plaster cover of the exterior surface began to loosen last month. So far, the fridge still works, but becomes very unsightly in appearance. I don't know what will happen next.
For years, Panasonic has been a favourite brand of many housewives, but I'm afraid it is time for us to consider other brands such as Hitachi.
A very disappointing customer,
