[edit] Welcome & thanks

Hi and welcome to WP. Thanks for cleaning up some of the issues at Sailcloth. You seem to really know your fibers. However, there was no attempt to advertise at that article, just writing in layman's terms using the typical names by which people know the products. We have to walk a fine line between being proper and being understandable. Some trade names become so common in usage that to use the purely generic names would make the articles less informative. Of course there are regional customs to be considered as well.

That said, there might be some ways to inform with less reliance on tradenames, and I look forward to your help on improving Sailcloth and other articles. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 18:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
