Edits to various Miller articles
Your contributions, all to Miller pages, seem to show a strong tendency towards partisanship. In addition, the wholesale addition of contest information detracts from the quality of the article, making the "this looks like a fansite" tag seem deeply deserved. Please refrain from boosterism, even if they are the only major brewer left here in Beertown. -- Orange Mike 23:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC) (member of the Brewery Credit Union in Brewers' Hill)

The contest information added is not biased and is verifiable. To compensate for a bias in the fact that it was only added to the Miller page, perhaps all of the beer cup information should be added to a 'World Beer Cup' entry, that or each brewer should have their awards placed on their entry. I did edit out the boycott information, because it just seems to provide another platform for the boycott. I take particular offense to the boycott, because it seems like a marketing ploy. Coca Cola, Anheuser-Busch, and Verizon, amongst many others have also been giving money to many of the same organizations, but only Miller has become a target. It seems that either information about the other companies' donations should be added to their pages, or that the boycott information should be removed from its page.

In regards to the study on Miller Lite, originally I tried to edit the page in a way which brought attention to the fact that a) the study was incredibly old, and b) that it is no longer recognized as legitimate by the company that released it. Its like using phrenological data in 2007 to explain why certain races are superior to others, in other words, its simply no longer accepted as scientific.

I added the nutritional information because, as Miller Lite created the light beer category, it seems incredibly relevant.


 * 1) If the cup stuff is notable, it definitely should go in a separate article; 2) The boycott is a fact; it may be based on false or bad premises, but it is a fact; we're about facts here; 3) You have an interesting definition of incredibly old; if the science is bad, give us a cite saying so; 4) Miller has no patent on light beer; it just looks like boosterism. -- Orange Mike 15:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC) in Beertown
