Talk:Giada (brand)

Addressing the UDP Flag on Page
User:Praxidicae The UDP flag was placed incorrectly as it is for undisclosed payments. The editor that initially created this page disclosed their relationship with the company. Since then, the page has been edited to get rid of promotional content. If anything, the flag would be a WP:COI Flag not a WP:UDP Flag. Crestviewer (talk) 15:29, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

@User:Praxidicae I created an account because maybe that will help with thinking the edits are spam. I am going to revert each edit and can you let me know what is wrong with each of them so I can address accordingly? Thanks! Ecity97 (talk) 20:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC) Just realized that I can't undo the reverted edits one by one so maybe if I add them again you can let me tell me what is "spammy" about them.

Removing edits without engaging in discussion

 * You again removed my edits calling them Promotional. How it is promotional to indicate the company is an Italian brand owned by a luxury company when that is fact, supported by the links. This type of language appears to be standard across pages in the Luxury Brand Category - like Gucci, Chloe and Celine. I have repeatedly asked this question. Please help Ecity97 (talk) 20:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , I edited the article text for exactly the reasons I gave in my edit summary: "ce for WP:NEUTRAL encyclopaedic tone – Wikipedia does not tolerate WP:PROMOTION of any kind". This is an encyclopaedia, and is supposed to be written as one; fashion magazines or advertising agencies may use words like `"womenswear", "flagship", "luxury", "brand", but we don't – this is a clothing company, in the business of selling clothes to make money, so let's make that clear and plain in the page. It's also – according to our page – definitely a Chinese company, so I'm not sure why you'd describe it as Italian. If you find promotional content in other Wikipedia pages, do please go ahead and remove it, citing WP:NOTPROMO as your reason for doing so. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to butt in here with an uneducated question: "what's promotional about 'womenswear'?" Seems fairly neutral to me (unlike the others, and the word "premium"). &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 10:26, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well,, it isn't a word you'd use in ordinary discourse, is it? I mean "the place was a tip, the floor was littered with discarded womenswear"? Don't we normally call the bits of cloth we use to cover our bodies "clothes" or "clothing"? Just my opinion, of course I recognise that your mileage may not be the same.

Corrections
The discussion about the use of luxury and womenswear will require some more research, in the meantime I would like to correct some other things that were recently changed. It currently reads that GIADA is a “Chinese brand” when it is in fact an Italian brand. There are several sources that support this and

Also, the store in Milan was their first store, so not just a "clothing store" and the article used as a citation supports that

Would these changes be acceptable? I am discussing here as instructed and look forward to your input. Thank you for taking the time to respond Ecity97 (talk) 16:08, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I don't consider myself an expert on fashion so I don't really want to comment. But definitely finding references is the right way forwards. If any reliable newspaper or well-known, well-respected magazine writes "this is a luxury brand" then you can call it a luxury brand. My comment was a matter of language rather than specific expertise on fashion. In the uk it's quite normal to refer to female clothing as "womenswear" (that's what would be written on the store directory in a department store), so I felt you were within your rights to do the same. And it's also quite normal to refer to a brand of womenswear as "luxury" not as puffery, but merely as an indication that it's the sort of stuff that would sell through a concession in a high-street department store rather than in a budget outlet. Again, the safest option is a good reference using similar language. I looked up ChinaDaily, which WP seems to have some doubts about, because of potential political bias, but acceptable with careful editorial judgement, when a Chinese insight is needed. I'd say if you're looking at whether this brand can make an impact in China, you could use it. Global Times however was deemed an unreliable tabloid, so it isn't. Vanity fair is safe as a source, though the article is going to be full of what looks like puffery because this is the fashion industry we're reporting on... also while foreign language sources are okay, this one doesn't cooperate well with translation on the Edge browser I'm using, so it might irritate some users. But you've got two possible references there, so you're in a better position! This is a good table of sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources Good luck!

 * Personally, I don't have any problem with saying "...is an Italian brand of women's clothing", since it was founded in Italy by Italians and operated for 10 years as such, and the 2nd sentence says, "was bought by the Chinese company". That is, the brand is Italian while the company producing it has become Chinese. Probably Justlettersandnumbers will have something to say about this point.
 * I'm not clear on what your third ("clothing store") point is. Apparently, the company made clothes beginning in 2001 and sold them without a shop of their own, and in 2013 they finally opened a store there in Milan. Yes? I'm not sure what clarification you're hoping for; I don't see any dispute or conflict (but may well just be overlooking something). &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 17:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, I am going to make these edits to the page since it seems there is consensus here that they are reasonable. Ecity97 (talk) 15:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
