Hello, I'm
Squinge. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of
your recent contributions to
Goodyear welt because they appeared to be promotional.

If you wish to reinstate the contested claim that has been removed, please discuss it on the article talk page and gain a consensus for its reinstatement, and do not edit war to get it back in. There are other welted constructions in addition to the Goodyear welt, and it is blatantly false to claim they all have no functional use. Please be aware too that you have been caught trying to include promotional material in the article, and that won't look good if we need to escalate this to a dispute process.

I edited the page to add the name of the oldest and most respected Canadian shoe manufacturer that uses the Goodyear welt to make their shoes. The ones currently mentioned on the page were only US and UK manufacturers. Mathew Dack (a.k.a Dack's) shoes have been around since 1834. I fail to see why you would state that I am saying there is "no functional use" to the Goodyear welt. The posting of a link to the company's website isn't promotional, as there is a link to the websites of most of the other manufacturer's mentioned on the page. oban10
I'm just a shoe aficionado, who's been wearing Dack's shoes for 30 years. Oban10 ( talk) 17:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)oban10
That's correct. BTW, I'm not the one who inserted "Shoes with other types of construction may also have welts for finished appearance, but they generally serve little or no structural purpose". You should check your edits. I saw you deleted all references to companies manufacturing Goodyear welted shoes from the page. That is certainly very helpful to the reader...

You should really check the history more closely. I only added the words "Matthew Dack Footwear" and a reference to their website's mention of Goodyear welt. I did undo your subsequent edit, which must have included much more than your removing what I added. If you want to be the police, then you should investigate better.

Check this link https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Goodyear_welt&diff=prev&oldid=648337278 and tell me what you see 192.226.159.147 ( talk) 18:18, 22 February 2015 (UTC)oban10
I believe you should apologize. I did make 2 changes: i) I inserted "Matthew Dack Footwear", and ii) I added a reference to their website. I did not make the 3rd change you mention, i.e. I did not add "... for finished appearance, but they generally serve little or no structural purpose". I believe the link I sent you does prove it.
