Talk:Fiesta (dinnerware)

message: Just to confuse matters a little, Chance Brothers in Smethwick, England, also produced a range of Fiesta glassware (coined Fiestaware in my book, Chance Expressions) from 1951 to 1981, and then by Fiesta Glass Ltd from 1981 to c.2002. See my website www.chanceglass.net. I will update when I have a little more time. GlassyEye (talk) 13:08, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fiesta(ware) by Chance Brothers 

message: This article can be much better.  The article appears largely to be original work, an serious missing references to support its biggest contentions.  This is a big Wikipedia no-no.  Given the prevalence of the dinnerware and press coverage, it should be possible to find references for the bulk of the material.  Otherwise the article is conjecture -- far from the aim of the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.  Feedback here would be good. Otherwise, let the editing commence. 842U (talk) 00:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Although they are somewhat limited, I would note there are some references. I've referenced every contribution I've made, for example. I would agree there is a need to supplement them. --Drmargi (talk) 01:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You might do well to remind yourself of the Pillar regarding assumption of good faith.  The original template used was inaccurate and therefore removed. Your response, and extreme and draconian savaging of the article, neither meets the spirit or the letter of that Pillar nor encourages users to make corrective edits and provide references needed.  A single, accurate replacement template would have done the job and fostered more good will.  As it is, my reaction (in all honesty) is more along the lines of "who do you think you are?" I certainly have no expectation that, were I to undertake the job of locating references, my work would be respected by someone who, in a very short time, has appointed themselves quite the expert editor but made precious few original contributions.  You might want to rethink your approach just a wee bit. --Drmargi (talk) 12:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: Without wanting to offend anyone, I've added "citations needed" and "original research" tags where appropriate.  Please do not remove these tags until the article meets Wikipedia criteria.  If the tags are too much, I'd offer that one of each could be placed at the head of the article — the intro paragraph is the only paragraph in the entire article that carries citations for the bulk of its contentions.
This isn't personal, the article simply doesn't come close to meeting WP guidelines.  Anyone wanting assistance in finding and adding references, there is help available. 842U (talk) 15:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Significant citations have been added to support the content.  "Original research" has been removed. The main source for the article is from Huxford's Fiesta book (many editions since its first introduction).  Any material questioned should be noted with the {cite} tag rather than the blanket "hat."  This will help in identifying any material needing to be sourced - though most - if not all - can be sourced by Huxford's book. Gmcbjames (talk) 03:49, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
