Template talk:Editnotices/Page/List of rum brands

Think this page could use an edit notice; currently it sports this commented-out block of text repeatedly throughout the article: "DO NOT add distilleries/microdistilleries/producers to this list unless they already have Wikipedia articles, or could reasonably be expected to be the subject of an article or article section. For names not linked to articles or article sections, you MUST provide AT LEAST one reference from a reliable source indicating the subjects notability, or the name WILL be removed. For notability criteria, please see the article's talk page."

Instead of repeating the same thing over and over again in the article coding, a editnotice would make sense. That said, it does need to be softened a bit, as the over-harsh tone of the above text (all caps shouting) is inappropriate, and the threshold of inclusion demanded is counter to the general guidance that inclusion in a list article is not the same as the notability criteria for a standalone article, and that inclusion on a list in lieu of a separate article at times specifically appropriate.

As such, I suggest an edit notice reading: "When adding a distiller or producer to this list, please be sure to include a reliable source indicating the producer's notability. Unsourced entries may be removed. Please see the article's talk page if there are any questions."

 * Yes check.svg Done Hello . I've created an edit notice here for you.  I did use a less harsh tone than the original.  What I used is also a bit more strong than your suggestion and in-line with many other similar "List of ..." edit notices I've created.  I hope the compromise will be acceptable.  Feel free to ping me or reactivate this request if you wish to discuss it further. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (t • e • c) 12:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
