I edited the budget from $7.5m to $6m because this is the figure (with cited source) used in another location of the article. Given that it appears to be the only source for the Budget given on the article, don't see why it got changed back.

Hello Nestorius:
I saw your edit to Bruichladdich article. It seems to me that the article ought to be about the whisky itself more so than about the distillery, so your edit to talk about the distillery in the first sentence seems odd to me.
Since you seem to be taking the same approach with other Scotches, it might be a good idea to explain the rationale involved. Maybe you already have, in which case please advise where.
Thank you. Wanderer57 ( talk) 01:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Nestorius:
Re your edit summary: "removed 16-year-old, as it is not a core expression."
What does the term "core expression" mean? I don't believe I have ever heard it.
Thanks, Wanderer57 ( talk) 00:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I suspect most readers will have no more idea of what a 'Core Expression' is than I did. If it is helpful to use the term, it will need to be explained. Wanderer57 ( talk) 07:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Added source for statement -- please stop using Twinkle! It reverts statements without notification or the ability to check the page. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.170.186 ( talk) 04:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
How was that vandalism? I was just fixing a typo.
Hahaha come on now you know its true. Those sick bastards are blowing there selfs up just to kill Americans.
Sorry. I WILL stop doing it. Thanks for the friendly warning Tech43 ( talk) 05:16, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
Thanks for the advice, I did mistakenly edit that part of the page. I was actually trying to remove a dead link. Anyway, thanks again for the advice.

Hi Nestorius:
Why do you think there cannot be some notes about the taste of whiskies in Wikipedia?
There is lots of stuff just as odd or odder. For example
The article on truffles has notes about the smell of different types of truffles.
The tequila article has different ways of drinking tequila.
The gin article includes helpful links to various mixed drinks that include gin.

Was it acceptable? I found a picture of the distillery/museum[ [2]], but I don't know how to go about getting it approved...? Kansas Bear ( talk) 08:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
It took me a while to find this function, but I have registered a user now.
The translation of Caol Ila was unsourced as it is, but I've added some information now pertaining to the name. From what I gather "Sound of Islay" is actually a mistranslation from Gaelic to, and this is strange, Swedish. Islays Sund and Sound of Islay, it's an easy mistake to make and whisky articles are pretty crude around here. The name is in reference to the location, overlooking the strait between Islay and Jura. The article I got what I perceive as the correct information from was a long swedish article from the distillery, with sampling, history and so forth and the reason for 'strait' is more fitting than 'sound'. Using a Swedish source might seem thin in the world of whisky, but Sweden is a huge market for single malts, to the extent that they got a special(even though it's now spreading) brand of The Famous Grouse, The Black Grouse, made to try and capture part of that market.
So, what you think? I don't want this to turn into an edit war and you seem to be the only other people that cares about this so let's try to find a solution we both like.
edit: aah, found the culprit! Main Entry: sound Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English sund swimming, sea & Old Norse sund swimming, strait; akin to Old English swimman to swim Date: 14th century 1 a: a long broad inlet of the ocean generally parallel to the coast b: a long passage of water connecting two larger bodies (as a sea with the ocean) or separating a mainland and an island
Appears that 'sound' is just ye olde english adapted from Old Norse 'sund' but perceived as 'sound', something to be heard, and not sound, a strait. That would explain why it's wrong everywhere.

Ok I don't think I've figured out how to properly reply but this might just work, I'll keep it brief just in case it gets launched into some place it shouldn't be.
Anyways, perhaps a bit/section on the name as you said? I can see how Sound of Islay is more marketable than Islay Strait, a bit deceptive in a way but that's marketing, so separating it into two parts about what it means and what it's marketed as(and why) seems reasonable and informative. There's more stuff to add in the article from what I can see so that might be fillable and tied together in a satisfactory way, so perhaps I'll do a push and see what comes out of it.
