Adding a History Section

[edit]

Hey, I want to add a history section to this article giving background information on when and why using ink tags became a common clothes store practice. It would include information on why clothes retailers were hesitant at first to use them and the reasons they decided to implement them in stores. Taylor.823.

I'm moving the hitory section to here for now. I think a history section is needed but the current version is just too problematic. SpinningSpark 07:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It currently reads like an ad for Security Tag Systems. Why go out of historical order and open with the STS ink tag? That is not how the source handles them. The source takes them in historical order and gives equal coverage to Color Tag and Kno-Glo. As phrased the impression is given that STS invented the ink tag. The source makes clear that the STS Ink Tag was an Amercan version of an earlier European invention – something entirely missing from our text. It is factually incorrect; the Ink Tag did not precede the Color Tag and Kno-Glo as stated. That is obvious from the dates given and the source makes that absolutely clear.

Types of Ink Tags

[edit]

I finished the section on the history of ink tags and was intrigued by the different types of ink tags. I'm planning to add a section for types of ink tags so that people can get more detailed information on those. I noticed there aren't any Wikipedia pages for specific ink tags yet. If these particular types of tags interest anyone, it would be awesome to have Wikipedia pages for them to link those terms in this article.

Here are some of those terms: ADT Ink Tags, Inktag3 Ink Tag, SensorTags, CheckInk II Ink Tags, Sensormatic's Ultra Ink Tag, and Sensormatic's Supertag. I found these different types off of this website [1] Taylor.823. (talk) 23:39, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
