Interesting article o good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Hook: I thought I was in the wrong article, - the pipe is too much od an Easter egg for my taste. Can you perhaps link to the company, and say it's advertising cards? I'd accept Echte Wagner for a pipe. How about a pic? - In the article, please check for German words italic, and missing spaces. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another wish for the article: tell in the lead what they produce and sell. The name suggests margarine, but then, in the card, come cocoa ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt:, I was tempted to ask if you were interested in the history of margarine. The article went through several titles, I think the hook must have been based on an earlier version, so I have updated it for the current title. I believe that the image is unsuitable for the main page as 1930 is too recent for public domain, if you know more about German copyright, please say. It is on Commons at File:Zukunftsfantasien12 4.jpg, but due to be deleted. I have added some more italics, I couldn't see any missing spaces, but that is probably my eyesight. @RAJIVVASUDEV: may also wish to comment. TSventon (talk) 17:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think the mention of cocoa was confusing, as that section is about the background to the cards not about Echte Wagner. Would Stollwerck cocoa be clearer? Echte Wagner cards did not start until later. Apparently, in addition to Kunstbutter (artificial butter), they also made Kunsthonig (artificial honey), but I didn't think that was necessary. TSventon (talk) 17:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, - understand now much better. I still think the lead should say that they produced margarine (not only cards), but up to you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, thank you, I have clarified the lead as you suggested. I found an article for Brooke Bond, another former company known for its collectible cards. TSventon (talk) 14:14, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks TSventon for addressing and concluding the issue. RV (talk) 02:18, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Images

RAJIVVASUDEV, the images in the article appear to have been published in 1930, which is after 1928 so they are not eligible for Commons per Commons:Commons:International copyright quick reference guide. They have also been nominated for deletion on Commons. I would suggest removing the image from the nomination. TSventon (talk) 18:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Considering its 70 years old, I put it there. But thanks for the information. Thanks RV (talk) 02:32, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, copyright is complicated, so I had to look up the guidance. I believe that it should be possible to upload an image to Wikipedia rather than commons as it is discussed in the article, see WP:FAIRUSE, which is another long and complicated policy. I have not uploaded fair use images myself. TSventon (talk) 04:57, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am putting them back in the article for now. Thanks RV (talk) 11:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can see that the image(s) are an important part of the article, but the nomination can't be approved for DYK until any images comply with Wikipedia copyright policies. TSventon (talk) 22:47, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, noted. Removing. Thanks RV (talk) 04:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded one image to Wikipedia and added it to the article. I believe that it will be replaced with a lower resolution version shortly. By the way, I think an infobox like the one at O-Pee-Chee would be useful, do you agree? TSventon (talk) 08:15, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sure! Thanks RV (talk) 08:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
