The stub for Singani merits replacement with a full article. At this point it would be appropriate to move the description away from superficial, anecdotal sources. The current stub is short and derived from a generic book on tourism. The image represents/favors a single manufacturer (kind of like an ad for them) rather than the industry itself. I don't believe the existing wording can be profitably tinkered with. As a subject matter expert, I intend to accomplish the change. My information comes from interviewing growers and distillers including extensive social time with the three major producer families in Bolivia, interviewing subject matter experts around Bolivia, primary sources research, scholarly documentation, government publications, and extensive interaction with government agencies and NGO's on this topic. I have lived in Bolivia for over 10 years. The research has been conducted in Spanish and has taken over 3 years so far. I plan to remove the stub template, alter the existing language, and revise with a full article and a new more comprehensive image(s). New to editing the Wikipedia, I have 1) studied the editing guidelines and other material like it (elements of style, etc), 2) made some minor edits on various pages here and there, but neither makes me an expert regarding the Wiki itself. I've experienced repeated rollbacks without explanation, a reminder that there is a community out there. If someone feels they are a Singani expert, I would like to hear from you. If someone feels that something I've written would benefit from changes, let's discuss it; if I can learn from you, I'd be happy to. My goals for the revision of this page are: "bold, interesting, and informative", "as historically correct as can be accomplished", and "referenced with primary sources as much as possible", in that order. I will be happy to continue to comment going forward. DGFritz (talk) 00:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

editing as an IP or a registered user.

Hi. I noticed that you replied to the answer I gave you at Teahouse as an IP editor. Once you are registered, you should use your registered account to edit. Although there is nothing wrong with editing as an IP, there are situations where editing as a registered user and as an IP in the same place can be a serious violation of policy (WP:SOCK). You have not violated this, so no worries. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Gtwfan52 (talk) 06:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, sometimes I think I'm logged in when I'm not... DGFritz (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Singani, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aymara (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There are four separate Aymara language articles, picking any one leaves out the others, but I guess we'll just pick one. DGFritz (talk) 13:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
