Nicole:
A similar area where Wikipedia is lacking is cosmetics and I don't mean in terms of
how to create makeup looks or pictures of every shade of nail polish, but general
information on cosmetics companies like Cover Girl and Maybelline. I think there needs to
more information on the history of each company as well as criticisms. In addition, those
articles are lacking in citations.
My reply:
I was the first male user to sign on to WikiProject Fashion
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:FASHION) and, as I have said every other time someone
brings this up, that project is dreadfully short of editors with the time (I did a lot in
the beginning, an outgrowth of the effort I put into [[The Devil Wears Prada (novel)]],
[[The Devil Wears Prada (film)]] and [[Anna Wintour]], but I haven't been able to
focus on it in a while. So, anyone who feels that they can contribute there is welcome ...
in the "beauty" department, I am happy to see that [[Template:Cosmetics]] has
grown as much as it has since I first created it in the project's early days, though
perhaps I should restore the original color scheme (once denounced by an anon as sexist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cosmetics&diff=35184…)
now that a CSS has been written to allow users who have vision problems to override navbox
coloring to high-contrast defaults).
