Hello, I'm Howicus. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Tory Burch without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tory Burch, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. If you have a reason for removing that information, please explain it. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

• Much of the content that you added to Tory Burch was supported only by bare urls. Please use these sources to properly present WP:ICs like throughout the rest of the article. I have hidden this content for now.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:08, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Please see all the content at Tory Burch with {{cite web}} templates (most of the other citations). Bare URLs force the reader away from the page. Please fill out the citation template properly before readding your content.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Tory Burch

I sort of gather that you are a fan of Ms. Burch. I think you would like to contribute to our encyclopedia. What I think would be most helpful at this point is if someone were to create a separate article for her company. Sort of like Ralph Lauren Corporation vs. Ralph Lauren. If we had a separate article for her company people could expand on a lot of her business related facets. It may be difficult on some levels because I don't believe it is a public company, which will limit you in some ways. Nonetheless, I think there is a lot of press about her company.

In terms of the this edit, there is not enough space in the encyclopedia for a list of people who have worn a designer's wares. Her company sells millions and millions of dollars of clothes. A lot of people wear her stuff. Even a list of official spokespeople would be a little odd for a company. Not even Guess? who is famous for the Guess girls does not enumerate all their official models, let alone every celebrity who wears their jeans. It is hard to define what is encyclopedic, but it is better to say what is WP:NOT. Anyways, if you want to research things Burch, you now have a task that I think you will enjoy.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:43, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

P.S. The guys at the teahouse might be able to help you get started,--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:44, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. You are right, I am a fan of Tory Burch and luxury fashion in general. I agree with your thought that starting a separate page would be hard because Tory Burch is not a public company. What about Vera Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg ? It lists who wears their clothes which is the same thing I was adding to Tory Burch's page.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this and I appreciate your help--as always.

• Comparing to Wang, I would not be averse to celebrity wedding dresses or TV/movie roles that wear Burch. Everyone who has been mentioned wearing Burch is a limitless list and not encyclopedic. Women only have a limited chance to wear Burch wedding dresses.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:58, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
• Comparing to DvF, A White House post card is something very special and limited. A sentence like "Her clothes have been worn by many celebrities including Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Madonna, Tina Brown, Jessica Alba, Susan Sarandon, and Jennifer Lopez.[19]" should not be in the encyclopedia.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
