Overall: 
First off, excellent job on the article, User:Sahaib3005! Let's talk about how to get this on the front page. First, the image probably has to be scrapped, and I'd recommend changing the license to fair use instead of own work. Second, I'm concerned about the neutrality of the article—I think that including the back cover of the packet is a bit much without any commentary on it. I also think the article doesn't necessarily need to include what discount/better sections the packets are included in. We're almost there! Also, ALTs 0, 2, and 3 are all approved, although I have a strong preference for ALT0. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:35, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
User:Theleekycauldron, I have made some changes, so was wondering what else I should change. Sahaib3005 (talk) 06:23, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Sahaib3005: While i greatly admire that you went for the gusto, that wasn't quite what i had in mind. I'm going to number the notes here:
- The section on design was perfectly fine (very in detail, i liked that). Cutting it means that your article, at 1,103 characters, is now too short, so that section should probably be restored.
- The block quote that appears on the back of every chips packet is too promotional, and should be cut. we don't need to air their marketing strategems.
- The sentence that says that it's vegetarian friendly and contains no artificial colours should probably be cut.
- I think beyond that, we're fine! I do appreciate your prejudiciousness in cutting stuff, but let's circle back a bit. we're almost there! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:35, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
