Talk:Artificial fish bait

Blowdart, While it seems that you are a strident user of this system I am new and wonder how to react to you tagging my first contribution on fish lures (a very mundane and trite subject)with this ADVERT tag with no way of understanding what brought you to this decision. While it may not be of the highest publication quality I believe this is a bit of a rash judgement.

First of all, according to the Wikipedia standards, I believe it meets the satndards. I quote "Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic..." The base of discussion was concerning Akron, Ohio (a town I lived in 30+ years ago) is credited with the first commercial fish lures according to the Wikipedia Akron, Ohio listing (check it yourself) and that caught my curiosity. It also became the stimulus to investigate this subject, and inso became an intregal part of the story I felt.

Secondly; I not only do not have any connection with any of the companies discussed, hell I don't even fish! I found out the topic existed in my curiosity about the I-76 route of the U.S. Interstate system. I was just surprised anything of much note other than rubber and Lebron James came out of Akron.

So if you might be so kind, could you take a few minutes to guide me to what might be so offensive about this article and what you might suggest to improve it. Other than that I might be led to believe your action may be assumed to be just something to do out of boredom. This being based on your response to DJ Clayworth, "the very existance of a template where you can specify the reason would lead me to think that any reason is fair game :) --Blowdart"
