replies: text: We can certainly have a conversation about that.  I heartily disagree.  I have contributed a fair amount of the content and format here, and have no stake nor interest in the advancement of Crown Royal, Diageo, or alcohol or whiskey for that matter.  I don't consider this article authoritative, nor exhaustive _ by any stretch _ but it clearly is informational and provides an understanding of the item, its origin, means of production and even a brief overview of some common ways the product is used.  Obviously, being an article about a product in current production and for sale, some element of "marketing" could be construed from any positive adjectives.  So, if you believe the current text does that, then I'd recommend you have a look at some of the verbiage and correct or replace any adjectives in the text which you think impart an "advertising" quality to the content. - Thaimoss 22:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I added this to Trivia:
* Among trumpet players the velvet Crown Royal bag is well-known as one of a number of possible approaches to a muted trumpet solo in the second movement of Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F.
However, it's difficult to document. I am not sure that it has been written up in a book and I don't think that Gershwin specified it. It's so well-accepted among the trumpet community, though, that it seems wrong not to mention it here. If you Google on something like '+"crown royal" +trumpet +mute' you will find many references to it - but they take it so much as read, as a standard, that they hardly define it - they just say things like "new mute from blah which is better than the standard Crown Royal bag" or whatever. One of those high up such a Google list, for example, is from Jim Olcott, someone whose cred in the trumpet world is unimpeachable. On the other hand, it is not a "proper" reference as I understand Wikipedia likes these days. What do you think? I'd be interested to read your views.

replies: text: Indeed.  I've seen it used myself, and it seems to be mentioned every so often on brass instrument fora, for instance: , .  In the second link, there's an offhand mention of an (alas, unnamed) score specifically calling for a "Crown Royal Mute". 2620:0:1000:3003:5813:71C7:B05F:E045 (talk) 19:23, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

message: It says right at the start of the article that crown royale is a blended rum - what does this mean? is it not whiskey?

thread_title:  Rum? 

message: I've noticed that a lot of gamers will tend to use the bag to cary their assorted dice, I feel that this is worth noting somewhere in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.42.199 (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that was once mentioned here, in the Trivia section, but deleted.  I do not think it belongs.  While it is an interesting note for some people, it is quite clearly not encyclopedic.  Note the Trivia Discourage tag already in the article. - Thaimoss (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dice? 

message: 750 mL is $25.95 in Montreal, Canada, (including all sales taxes).
What is the price of a similar volume in the U.S.?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.211.195.52 (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Difficult to compare with the United States, as taxes included in the sale price often include federal, state, and sometimes county or municipal (although seldom, if ever, any sales tax). However, as a point of comparison for your question, in Anne Arundel County and Howard County, Maryland, 750 ml is typically had for US $19.99 and 1.75l for US $39.99 - Thaimoss (talk) 01:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *1.41L is CDN$39.00 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Société des alcools du Québec.
****In Los Angeles, Ca a 750mL bottle goes for $20-$25 and a 1.41L goes for $40-$45♣DeathRattle101 A.K.A. LUX♣verbalize 04:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
