Talk:Onyx Moonshine

Untitled
With reference to the alerts that were placed on the article page, I am hoping that these can now be removed. The alerts related to: This article may contain promotional material and other spam. A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it.
 * Since this was inserted a number of changes and edits have been made to the article which should have addressed this issue.
 * I'm not exactly sure how to counter this other than to say that I believe that the article stands on its merits as a piece about a noteworthy topic, being the first legal moonshine to be produced in New England, and having been covered in sources such as NY Times, NBC, Bloomberg, as well as a number of regional publications.
 * There is now a link one other article to this article - Moonshine by country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine_by_country

I would be grateful for the views of any editors on this topic. Thank you Fbell74 (talk) 10:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
