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=351849019&oldid=345846576)
now that a CSS has been written to allow users who have vision problems to
override navbox coloring to high-contrast defaults).
