Lead re-written

I hope the change I have made to the lead makes sense. I didn't think the previous second para version helped very much, especially the sandwich ref (!). I am hoping to add a couple of sections on "legislation" (generally) and "reception" (e.g. visual impairment, illiteracy, print size and language) soon as well as digging out some much-needed citations (which I should be able to find, as this is my specialist field).

"Iffy" citations

This article needs a lot of work. Some citations are simply links to commercial sites. What do others think? Tony Holkham (talk) 12:46, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

reference standards

The recent revision of this is excellent. Thank you. I believe that the listed ASTM International technical standards were legitimate and should be reconsidered for this article. They prompt readers to look into the technical aspects of labels, if they wish. Rlsheehan (talk) 20:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

I take your point about the ASTM standards, so will find a way to reinstate them somewhere. It might be worth adding them to the ASTM list, too, if they're not there already. And thanks for your thanks - nice to know someone cares! Tony Holkham (talk) 21:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Reinstated as appropriate, and added to ASTM list. There's plenty more work to do on this article, not least of which is adding citations, preferably non-commercial ones. But that's enough for one day... Tony Holkham (talk) 22:55, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
