Talk:Dr. Martens

Recovering vs Looting
The description was changed some time ago from "looting" to "recovering valuables", whereas the german version of this page has a quote from Klaus Märtens."„Der Krieg ging zu Ende und jeder stürmte nach draußen und begann zu plündern. Doch während die meisten Leute nach Wertgegenständen wie Schmuck und Pelzen suchten, suchte ich mir einen Leisten, etwas Leder, Nadeln und Nähfäden und machte mir daraus ein Paar Schuhe mit den dicken luftgepolsterten Sohlen, die ich mir ausgedacht hatte.“"Translated:

"The war ended and everyone rushed outside and started looting. But while most people were looking for valuables like jewelry and furs, I found a last, some leather, needles and sewing thread and made myself a pair of shoes with the thick air-cushioned soles I'd come up with."

From this quote, Märtens himself refers to his actions as looting, for the supplies he needed to make clothes. Note the use of the verb "plündern" rather than "zurückgewonnen" or "wiedergunden". Charlesv42 (talk) 09:55, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Märtens himself refers to his actions as plündern, which the other editor translated as "liberated" or whathaveyou. If we're going to be persnickety about it, what's wrong with the word "plunder"? — Llywelyn II   12:49, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Any reason this article uses the wrong name throughout?
I get leaving the page at Dr. Martens if they haven't bothered to correct their paperwork yet and we're focusing the article on the company itself but the  name of this footwear is "Doc Martens", it's not close, and we should use it consistently in the article to discuss the footwear sold by Dr. Martens PLC. The current article reads like it's discussing an herbal remedy or niche slightly unhinged soap. — Llywelyn II   12:55, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
