I am surprised that there is very little mention of Waterford Crystal manufacturing leaving Ireland for other countries and the reason(s) why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.14.11 (talk) 13:28, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
your criticisms of my edits are Orwellian: "traditional" Waterford Crystal is a modern marketing invention
Marketing people from Waterford Crystal, named after a town called Waterford, spend money creating an image for the product that it has a long tradition in the town dating back 200 years. That's their marketing POV. It is my NPOV that we should cite all facts as we find them, and cite what is the truth, and especially when they conflict, juxtapose the two. The company and the crystal do not date back even beyond WWII. But I'm getting reverted. It is the POV of the reverters that the wiki page should not help educate the reader to separate the mix of fact and hyperbole they will encounter. All over wikipedia we see marketing drones sneak in to clean up any truth that they find inconvenient. And who else would monitor the Waterford Crystal page to preserve the integrity of the Waterford Co. marketing hype. 68.174.97.122 (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
