User talk:Manzanita

My name is Anne. I am french, and usually my friend call me Pomme. Petite pomme. pomme in english is Apple. i am a little apple. a manzanita in spanish. i am from august 2005 to july 2006 studying business in Michigan. I just discovered wikipedia and i found it really interesting.

What i like, as a business student, is fascinating stories about marketing successes and failures. I discovered not so long ago one of them: the "french" vodka greygoose. This is a hoax. I mean, almost one. It was created by Sidney Frank, a very clever American guy for who i have a lot of respect as having done one of the most marketing success of the past years. Vodka is not part of french culture. what he invented is really clever. So i decided to speak about him as one of the most famous user of marketing of our time.

here is a link to a smart article about him http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/bizfinance/biz/features/10816/

Grey Goose vodka
The reason I deleted your contribution to Grey Goose vodka is that it was not NPOV and not encyclopedic. Please see "what Wikipedia is not." ... discospinster 17:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

First of all... welcome to Wikipedia

Second... if vodka is not a part of the French culture, then that's factual and can go in the article. The marketing strategy can be included as well, but use a neutral word like "interesting", rather than describing it as "the best". ... discospinster 18:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
