User talk:GreatLeapbeer

Thank you for your contributions to Great Leap Brewing ... I have followed up and made sure the links to the beer styles are blue (meaning they link to existing articles) rather than red.

However, I would strongly suggest you take care while editing that article, if you plan to continue. First, your username strongly suggests a clear connection to the company, which, per our username policy, could have resulted in an indefinite block on the account merely for editing the article. I appreciate that you're trying to do this in good faith, and your edits were intended to make sure the article is correct and current, so I didn't hit the block button. But in the future I would take heed of this. You might also want to review this plain and simple version of our conflict of interest policy to better understand what is appropriate for someone in your position.

The best thing I could recommend going forward is that you contact me if there's any information (with an appropriately reliable source) that you feel the article should reflect. You can do this in three different ways:


 * Put " " at the beginning of a message here or on the article talk page. I'll receive an automatic notification that way.
 * Click "talk" next to my name on the signature attached to this message to go straight to my talk page and leave a message there. This will work once you've made more than 10 edits. Again, I'll get notified.
 * At my user page, there is a pink box near the top of the stack on the right with an "@" symbol in it that says "This user can be reached by email", with the last three words linked (similarly, in the list of links in smaller type on th left side, under "Tools", you'll see "Email this user"). That will bring you to an online form where you can send me an email (I may not be as able to respond promptly because I do get lots of spam to wade through, even with a filter on (but who doesn't? ) But I will respond.

I am glad for your feedback as I specifically sought out Great Leap on my 2014 trip to Beijing; I had read about it beforehand and said to myself I've got to go there (along with Chaonei No. 81, which I had also read about). I wasn't able to until the absolute last evening I was there ... I followed my handwritten directions (rather than a printed map; that was easier) and indeed it is one of the hardest bars to find in Beijing (well, I can't say that for absolute certain because it was the only bar in Beijing I went to, but having gone there I accept that as it is indeed very out of the way, which works in its favor IMO). I had spare renminbi enough (mindful of having to pay cab fare to BCIA the next day) for just one pint of the stout that was on tap, but after plodding around the Summer Palace for most of a warm day I still remember it as one of the best beers I have ever tasted.

I had already found enough coverage to establish that Great Leap was notable enough for a Wikipedia article, so I took the photos in the article with that in mind. It may have been motivated in part by a desire to get a firsthand appreciation of a subject, but I would do it again on any trip to Beijing.

Looking forward to hearing from you, if you want to make contact. Daniel Case (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
