User talk:Tristan.sbry

Hi everyone,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to you because I work closely with KRUG and am currently involved in a project concerning Wikipedia.

The House of Krug is very enthusiastic about the different Wikipedia pages you have written and moderated and I would like to form stronger relations with all experienced contributors who have worked on articles about Krug on Wikipedia, as well as with Champagne and wine enthusiasts in general. My wish is to be part of the collaborative process you have established and, with your help, to create an article that is neutral, informative and thorough. Ultimately I would like to use the content of this collaborative work as the basis for Wikipedia articles in other languages in order to maintain consistency and to further share knowledge about the House of Krug.

I would like to work with your guidance and share additional information about Krug with you – information which would be a great contribution to Wikipedia’s continuous improvement. If you are interested by this project, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to discuss it with you further.

Kind regards, --Tristan.sbry (talk) 14:55, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Writing on Krug
Hello, thanks for your message on my talk page. Yes, I've been one of the most active within WP:Wine over time, although I've been less active during the last couple of months. Two of the images in the Champagne Krug article were indeed added by me; I passed by the street outside when I was visiting some other producers in Reims last year, and thought the stack of barrels was worth a photo. When you, as an employee of Krug, wish to add or edit information in the article on Krug, there is one basic policy you need to be aware of: Conflict of interest (COI). Although the document is long and perhaps somewhat daunting, I recommend that you read it. The next step should be to write a very short presentation on the user page, to clearly indicate who you represent, just as you did on my talk page - note that the COI policy recommends users in your situation "to declare their interests", which you seem to be fully willing to do.

When it comes to the article itself, do you have anything special in mind that you are interested in adding? Or do you just wish to get rid of the (slightly ugly) morefootnotes template at the top of the article to make it look better? Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, a text similar in style to what is written in Jancis Robinson's Oxford Companion to Wine is generally OK, but a profile similar to what can be found in e.g. Richard Juhlin's Champagne Guide is usually not (since it usually contains to much personal opinion and is somewhat promotional in tone). Much of this is encapsulated in the essay (=much less binding than a policy, but still good advice) Wikipedia is not a wine guide. Please be aware that compared to most of the texts produced by corporate communications people - not just related to wine but to any business are - Wikipedia texts tend to be quite "dry" and factual.

Champagne Krug Page
Hi Tomas,

Many thanks for your answer and your user guide, it's very helpful.

I just received a first version of the plan we would like to work on with Wikipedia's contributors.

As you can see, we are thinking about creating new section and complete some existing sections to be as complete as possible. It also contains some possible modifications we'd like to propose to Wikipedia, if you are ok with that. What do you think about this plan? Is that coherent for you? Do you think it respects Wikipedia's rules?

Once the structure of the page has been validated by the community, in a second way, we will share with you and other interested people, content we are thinking to add in these sections.

I think we will particularly need your help to adapt this content to be sure to respect Wikipedia's rules. We are trying to be as neutral as possible, but being professionals, we use to have bad language habits :)

Again, many thanks for your help. In addition, we are absolutely open to discussion, so do not hesitate to ask us any information you consider relevant for this page, we will do our possible to give you this information.

Best regards. Champagne Krug (talk) 09:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Images: replace the current logo with the new one, and perhaps add images of Joseph Krug, the cellars, bottles of Krug, old advertising images, etc.

 * Krug Grande Cuvée: blending, reserve wines, recreation of the same taste every year, its bouquet, its taste.
 * Krug Rosé: same spirit of recreation as with KGC, "a Krug before it is a Rosé", its bouquet, its taste.
 * Krug Vintage: the character of each year, talk about the bouquet and taste of the latest vintage
 * Krug Collection
 * Krug Clos du Mesnil: a single vineyard, a single grape variety, a single year

Question: Your userpage identifies you as "Margareth Henriquez President & CEO of the House of Krug". Is this still the case? Or is that not you, and you just posted the letter from the President?

I note your username is different. Please note also that only one person is allowed access to an individual Wikipedia account. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am Tristan, and I am the author of the article I proposed for this page : [].

I work closely with KRUG. In fact they contacted me to write the copy for this article and I had meetings with Margareth Henriquez (President & CEO of the House of Krug)to do so. The aim of the message of the CEO was to be transparent.

I will precise all that on my user page as I did with Agne27. (BTW: This is my personal account)--Tristan.sbry (talk) 14:40, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * So, some important key things:
 * You and your colleagues ''may not edit articles with which you have conflict of interest, such as that brand
 * You and your colleagues should never be editing the same articles to avoid conflict and the apearance of false wp:Consensus

Hi Bwilkins. Well noted for those two points. Thanks, --Tristan.sbry (talk) 16:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
