Talk:Lipton

message: I removed the sentence 'Canada and the United Kingdom continue to prefer Tetley over Lipton which remains in second place' as first of all, we ccould provide a very extensive list of markets where Lipton is not a leading brand, not just Canada and UK. second, there is no data to back this claim up about Tetley (and it should belong on the Tetley page really). Third, in the UK Lipton is not even second as the brand is not widely available there in leaf tea, so the statement was factually incorrect. The largest tea brand in the UK appears to be PG Tips, not tetley, according to the Unilever website, but again, that doesn't belong in an article about Lipton.

thread_title:  Lipton today 

message: I still feel like it was written by a Lipton employee. ("Health benefits" rather than "affects," "best-known" is unsupported in the first sentence, Lipton Today section only addresses its popularity and success, etc...) Artoonie (talk) 08:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the statements above -- this article has clearly been 'touched up' by Lipton's marketing people and needs major work to improve its neutrality and factual accuracy. Dunks (talk) 08:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advertising

message: I feel the Lipton Approach section is written like an advertisement, or maybe has weasel words. Just the name "Lipton Approach" smacks of commercialism to me. I've marked it as such. There is some genuine content in there, though, so I did not simply delete the section.Erich Blume 17:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Blanking

message: This section was edited to say that Lipton's move got mixed reviews, without providing any support for that. hence, I have removed this. Itw as provided by an unregistered user. Criticism for the Rainforest Alliance can be found at that entry. Mtl1969 08:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sustainability

message: Can anyone add 'Lipton Milk Tea' in this article. It is being sold in Asian markets. I only know 3 Flavors: original, vanilla, and goldhttp://pinoyfood.nimrodel.net/2008/04/21/lipton-milk-tea-2/. I don't know about American and European markets but these products are very popular (yet expensive) in our country (Philippines) Triadwarfare (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lipton Milk Tea 

message: back in the 70's lipton sold a flavored tea entitled 'black rum'. it never stayed on the shelves in the stores long, was quite popular, i loved it. it disappeared rather abruptly and i was never able to find out why. this took place in new york state. is it still being sold and so where. wilk356@aol.com  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.201.155 (talk) 17:38, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flavored tea discontinued  

message: Suggested merger from Lipton Iced Tea. I think the iced tea article could be a short section of this article.  Please comment. Thanks. --Fremte (talk) 21:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: merger completed.  some copy editting required. --Fremte (talk) 15:51, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  i did some editing- feel free to comment.Mtl1969 (talk) 13:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks okay.  I wonder about the need for a comprehensive listing of all the flavours.  Green tea with tuna, Iced tea with lark's vomit etc.  Is it necessary to have them all? --Fremte (talk) 00:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  perhaps not, but you merged the article, and now you propose to delete the majority of the content of the original article. In the stand-alone article it was OK to have his level of detail- the the broad Lipton article is does seem a little off-balance,  i agree. but in that case the original article should have been marked for deletion (which it wasn't) or it should remain a stand-alone, with a link to it from this main article. Mtl1969 (talk) 08:24, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're correct, that's why I did not do anything about the content and left it.  There had been a deletion disc about the iced tea article before, and I thought this merge was the right decision.  Rethinking it, maybe the balance issue is that there needs to be expansion of the other parts?  I was trying to be humourous with my silly flavours comment. Please do whatever you think is good.  --Fremte (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  i had already beefed up some of the other parts but based on your suggestion i have done some more research and gone a little further. I didn't want to create excessive lists of flavour variants but added some examples to give people an idea. I think this should do it for nowMtl1969 (talk) 12:26, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This article really needs to be rewritten, and maybe something about the animal testing reports from PETA should be added? Evalowyn (talk) 00:39, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The article was just rewritten  by Wenttomowameadow to remove the promotional content. If there are any reliable secondary sources showing that the animal testing is a notable controversy, it could be added. Right now a press release from PETA isn't sufficient.

replies: text: How about Unilever's own announcement that it was stopping non-human–animal testing of tea? — President Lethe (talk) 18:58, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Is that notable? It sounds a bit promotional, i.e. "Look how ethical we are!" and it's a bit strange to write about something bad that a company doesn't do. I think we should stay neutral about this sort of stuff. I'd like to hear reasons why we should add this, though. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 19:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: was curious about lipton's yellow label. it says on the packing "contents: tea and flaworing". sadly the article contains no information on what is added to the tea. i see there have been efforts to improve the article but, it still seems to contain only information that would be released by the company's "introduce the brand to the targeted consumers" statement. maybe the article can avoid being labeled as an advertisment by aviding to say directly "best product, order now" but this isnt enough to reach an encyclopedical standard. the historical section seems okay as far as i care for that, but apart from that theres hardly any information that could not be found on the products' label. 176.63.176.112 (talk) 10:58, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
