[edit] Benefits cite

I restored the cite for that section, because it substantiates exactly what one would expect it to - benefits of toe socks according to the manufacturers of such products. If one can find a better, "more reliable" source for it, go right ahead. If someone wants to remove the entire section, I would not be averse to that. So your call.

I'm inclined to agree with your logic but we would have to be more inclusive ie. find all of the benefits of toe socks pages from all the manufacture's. That would lead to every commercial outfit selling toe socks to benefit, by simply adding medical benefits page to their site. Thoughts ? PadawanMD 14:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

That's why I said better and more reliable. Technically, this one doesn't hit WP:ATT, but it's something until we can find something more appropriate. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toetoe

A statementless toetoe citation has kept appearing and disappearing in this page. In an attempt to resolve this, I have checked out the website, found that it contains useful information that was not in this WP article, added the information to the article, and then moved the citation to my new paragraph. I hope this solution is satisfactory to all involved parties. (I also changed the reference to point to a toesocks page, rather than pointing to the home page)

I have no connection whatsoever to the toetoe site or company, so was trying to maximise the amount of useful verifiable information in our WP page while trying to avoid a link that was merely for advertising purposes.

Any comments? -- Hebrides 13:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, but it still doesn't work, as the site is not a reliable source, per the WP:RS policy. That and I'm not exactly thrilled about giving these spammers a permanent spot on the article. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

...which leaves me wondering which is better, a completely unsubstantiated statement or a statement with a reference to a "less than scholastic" source. As I said on your talk page, there is a dearth of information about toe socks on the internet and most of what exists is of a commercial nature. If the evidence of the existence of certain products is the fact that they are available from a retail website, is it always wrong to provide a link to that retail website? Just wondering... -- Hebrides 10:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Neither one is a great alternative, but a link to a product display page is advertising. I'm sure there are reliable sources to be found, it just takes looking. But for toetoe, the spam continues. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repositioning of stitching

If I ever meet someone who knows how to make toe socks, I'll ask them to only do three toes per foot, with the 2nd and 3rd, and 4th and 5th toes together. dogman15 (talk) 00:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
