so do you sell or make asphalt roofing?
Fairly narrow editing there, trying to remove any claims of asphalt roofing being "cheap" or allowing pictorial examples of failure modes. "It's all subjective!" It seems clear from your very few edits that you have an agenda of some sort going on here. DMahalko (talk) 23:03, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I’m with the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA), and we would like to make sure that any pictures of asphalt are up-to-date, accurate, and appropriate so as not to draw conclusions when it comes to aging and deterioration. We have several alternative pictures we would like to submit for consideration.  Please let me know the process for this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.2.146 (talk) 15:36, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Shingles wear out. They have a failure mode. That is why they are replaced. There is nothing inaccurate about stating that in an article about aphsalt shingles.


 * If they don't wear out from leaching of the hydrocarbons, then how exactly do they wear out? As a rep of ARMA, YOU should have plenty of cites to provide on that.


 * Or can't we talk about failure modes at all? We can discuss colors and styles and so forth but don't touch the downsides, oh no.


 * Sorry, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not advertising you can sculpt to convey only a specific cheery message. Aphsalt shingles wear out, the oils leach out onto the ground, and the remaining paper/felt falls apart. Deal with it. DMahalko (talk) 20:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello -- Would it be possible to add photos, without removing any? Just some nicer, newer photos to show redidential asphalt roofing? Thanks,Todd.
