Wiki style and recent edits

I was happy to read about a product I very much like. And happy too to see new edits from the owner-founder. That said, the product is not known for its affordability, but rather the opposite. I do understand the argument for price and quality, but this product is super permium. A value over time almost always, but there is nothing to suggest the market perception is of price competitiveness. The market perspective is that Fine Paints of Europe is up there with Farrow and Ball, Matha's high end line, or Donald Kaufmann.

The owner might take 10 minutes to read about wiki writing and editing. Much of the new text was overly self-congratulatory, sometimes described as "fluff" by wiki editors. Objectivity is the key. An article that appears objective is in the end a better recommendation than a self-congratulatory prose. Finally, as a part of wikifying the article I have tried to make the first sentence answer the questions of who, why and where in one, rather than over 2-3 sentences. 71.16.117.126 03:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
