Yes, if info on your site is free to use, the site needs to say so. Then someone can make an article with it here if they like, but you should not do so yourself; see WP:COI. Dicklyon 15:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Writing paper: used to write letters

I have always understood writing paper to be the paper you write hand-written letters on. These things listed in the article are not writing paper "printer paper, loose-leaf paper, graph paper, Post-It Notes". Nobody uses graph paper to write on. If they are writing paper, then so is toilet paper. And I'm not too sure about being so definate about what the paper is made of - some top-quality paper was made in the past partly from rags, or linen, and could still be. Hand-made writing paper can be made of plant fibres other than wood. 80.2.217.18 20:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With that definition, "printing and writing paper" leaves out quite a few types of paper that nonetheless see use for hand-writing. Lined paper for taking notes, exercise paper, and so on. So that makes for a poorly-titled article. I for one did write quite a bit of school work on 5 or 10 mm graph paper, and not just math. (1 mm graph paper was expensive, the others cost the same as regular lined paper.) For hand-written letters I have a special pad of fountain pen paper. In fact, this article disappoints because it doesn't go over what makes paper good for printing (be it large scale, in the office, or at home) and for hand-writing (be that letters, notes, etc.).

Writing paper standards

It is better if you use the international standards from ISO instead of your local Vietnamese. Langbein Rise (talk) 06:47, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
