			== Toilet paper revert ==

			I respectfully disagree with removing the specific brand mentions from the ] article. While it's true that some brands may be more prevalent in certain regions, the inclusion of these particular brands is justified for the following reasons:

			Global Presence: Brands such as Charmin are not confined to one country. They are widely available in North America, including Canada and Mexico. This broad distribution demonstrates their significance in the global market. Both Charmin and Cottonelle toilet paper are widely available in Canada and Mexico. You can find them in both countries' major grocery stores and retail outlets.

			Cultural Significance: Some of these brands, like ], have achieved a level of cultural recognition, as evidenced by their dedicated Misplaced Pages article. This indicates a notable impact on popular culture and consumer behavior.

			Informative Value: Including specific brands provides readers with concrete examples and can enhance their understanding of the product category. It allows for more detailed comparisons and discussions, particularly when analyzing marketing strategies, packaging design, or consumer preferences.

			We risk losing valuable information and context by removing these specific brand mentions. I propose we reinstate the original content, ensuring it remains neutral and avoids undue promotion. If concerns about specificity persist, we could consider a more general approach, such as categorizing brands by region or market share. However, I believe that the current inclusion of specific brands is appropriate and beneficial to the article.

			Additionally, I would like to point out that it would have been more productive for the editor to raise their concerns on the article's talk page rather than resorting to a full revert. This would have allowed for a more collaborative and constructive discussion about the content. ] (]) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree with removing the specific brand mentions from the Toilet paper article. While it's true that some brands may be more prevalent in certain regions, the inclusion of these particular brands is justified for the following reasons:

Global Presence: Brands such as Charmin are not confined to one country. They are widely available in North America, including Canada and Mexico. This broad distribution demonstrates their significance in the global market. Both Charmin and Cottonelle toilet paper are widely available in Canada and Mexico. You can find them in both countries' major grocery stores and retail outlets.

Cultural Significance: Some of these brands, like Cottonelle, have achieved a level of cultural recognition, as evidenced by their dedicated Misplaced Pages article. This indicates a notable impact on popular culture and consumer behavior.

Informative Value: Including specific brands provides readers with concrete examples and can enhance their understanding of the product category. It allows for more detailed comparisons and discussions, particularly when analyzing marketing strategies, packaging design, or consumer preferences.

We risk losing valuable information and context by removing these specific brand mentions. I propose we reinstate the original content, ensuring it remains neutral and avoids undue promotion. If concerns about specificity persist, we could consider a more general approach, such as categorizing brands by region or market share. However, I believe that the current inclusion of specific brands is appropriate and beneficial to the article.

Additionally, I would like to point out that it would have been more productive for the editor to raise their concerns on the article's talk page rather than resorting to a full revert.

RE: Welcome

Hi, HiLo48! Thanks for your welcome, but I've been editing here (mostly on the Reference and Help/Teahouse desks) for about 20 years, and have consciously chosen (so far) to do so without creating an Account, for reasons I won't bore you with. Since my IP (once static) is semi-dynamic, I pseudo-sign myself for continuity purposes "{The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}" 94.6.84.253 (talk) 07:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
