New section reads like an advertisement

[edit]

There should only be one bullet point talking about green stuff as a hobby sculpting putty. Basic searches indicate Sylmasta LTD makes the putty called Kneadatite along with other plumbing putties that have long been used for many things including hobby sculpting. This putty is rebranded and sold under many labels (Citadel, Army Painter, Greenstuffworld) but, without giving sources, it seems repetitive to suggest in a second bullet point that either of the two listed companies (Games Workshop or Greenstuffworld) have anything to do with the actual putty itself or its production. Greenstuffworld is even hyperlinked to their storefront in the article which is especially ironic as they are a very new company compared to the 20+ year history of Sylmasta LTD. The bullet point reads like an advertisement. Greenstuffworld has even named themselves after the putty's common hobby slang as if to subtly suggest the putty is originally their product and always has been. This is simply not the case. There are printed sources, such as a 2007 book by Steven J. Zaloga on modeling the M4 Sherman (76mm), that describe the use specifically of Kneadatite as a sculpting putty. This predates Greenstuffworld which was not registered as a company until 2016. Vpr13 (talk) 05:16, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
