This article might need some rewriting. I can't find anyplace that it's directly cut-and-pasted from but it looks like there's a lot of close matches on the web, i.e. see [1]. NTK 14:16, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Large portions of text from this article appear here: http://stmaryrcc.org/pdf_files/Dutch%20info.pdf nearly word for word, under the section "Dutch Process Chocolate".

PS - the link in the previous comment was blocking mine. I changed it slightly. Jon in Michigan 18:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

That site has simply copied my original text (a complete rewrite in December 2006). Afasmit 20:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you did a great job making this article. -The Bold Guy- 13:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, though it isn't much text. Could you explain why you added a tone-template stating that the tone or style may be inappropriate for wikipedia? Afasmit 15:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

By taking a closer look at the text, I saw a spelling-template might apply better here. I'll fix it right away! -The Bold Guy- 17:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

"The Van Houten brand name, still in use, has been transferred several times since, most recently in 1990 from the German chocolate manufacturer Jacobs Suchard to Philip Morris." Well, as Jacobs Suchard themselves belong to Philip Morris, I don't know if you can call that a "transfer". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.15.122.57 (talk) 17:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
