Quality of Article

Is this article really encyclopedic? It seems little more than a promotional tool for the company, talking of their products and successes rather than providing useful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E.au (talk • contribs) 15:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. Firstly, let me say that, as the main contributor and 'founder' of this stub, I have no connection with the brand, its owners, or any of the department stores that retails this (or any other) brand. As always on any article, a specific reference to how the quality of article does not meet policies and guidelines is welcome, as opposed to a sweeping generalisation. This article was commenced following a story concerning the brand that reached the front page of The Sydney Morning Herald on 7 February 2011. I then went back and sourced history from a range of sources over the preceeding 20 years. I feel that given the relatively short history of the brand, it conforms with most other Australian retail fashion brands on Wikipedia; but I welcome specific feedback if there is another message that is appropriate. Of course, if you feel passionately, start editing to change the article to reflect what you feel it should be covering. Jherschel (talk) 04:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. It was more speculation than anything else, and entirely too sweeping. You've done a fine job and no offense or criticism of your work intended. E.au 07:38, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. A good place to focus energy is the brands listed in the Category : Clothing brands of Australia - where the content is dubious. Jherschel (talk) 08:05, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
