Why? This was not a test. It was real editing. --Alex Blokha 16:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

You added a table to the article that contained placeholders rather than real content, as such it is reasonable to interpret it as an edit to test that your table syntax was correct. Whilst I am happy that it was your intention to further edit the page to add real content, you must bear in mind that edits to wikipedia are immediately visible to all users, and that as a result the article contained a test, rather than valid content. Please use either the general sandbox, or a sandbox in your user space for works in progress. Mayalld 19:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Noise cancelling headphones

The new version of the table with content is much better, however;

1. Why create a column that has no content. If you intend to add this content later, add the column later rather than leaving an article in an obviously unfinished state.
2. Per WP:MOS, you shouldn't use all capitals.
