Hi Iain,

I see that you have inserted this into Edward John Dent for the second time after being reverted. First of all, if you are reverted on Wikipedia and don't agree, the accepted thing to do next is to open a discussion, see WP:BRD. Simply repeatedly reinserting your chosen text without discussion or explanation is not acceptable here and is called Edit warring.

The Swiss company's claim to be the original Dent's is disputed and inserting external links, especially to companies, in the body of the article does not comply with our Manual of Style. In any case, the company's own claims about itself cannot be considered reliable because they are not neutral.WP:COI, WP:NPOV, WP:RS.

Do you have any other sources to back up this claim?  Spinning Spark  15:32, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
