Tagging all articles that fall under our scope with {{WikiProject Spirits}} and assessing their quality and importance to the project.

Why is much of the article written in the present tense? For example: "The liquor becomes popular..."

It reads awkwardly. 2606:A000:8396:500:5143:BFAB:492:4F11 (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At least some of the article appears to have been translated (probably via Google Translate) from the Italian Wikipedia article on Cynar, which accounts for the use of the present tense and overall awkwardness. Ormewood (talk) 19:18, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult to understand what is being said here...[edit]

Look at this text:

This was a transitional period for Cynar. Over the next couple years they miss-stepped entirely. Zanzibar (1995), music by Enzo Whittaker, The Beautiful Alcachofa(1997), played by showgirl Natalia Estrada.

Hard to know where to begin here.

"Zanzibar" just links to the Wikipedia article on the region in Tanzania.

I can't find anything in the way of films or anything else that might be construed as advertising for Cynar with the name of "Zanzibar" that came out in 1995. Same thing with "The Beautiful Alcachofa" ("Alcachofa" is the Spanish word for artichoke, by the way.)

Natalia Estrada, described on the linked Wikipedia page as "an actress, model and television presenter on Spanish television," is referred to as a "showgirl." Bad choice of words by someone who isn't a native speaker of English? Also, nothing on her filmography or the list of television appearances by her on in the Wikipedia article mentions anything called "The Beautiful Alcachofa."

"Over the next couple years they miss-stepped entirely." How?

edit: OK, here is a link to a Cynar commercial by Natalia Estrada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_0dMkhCySg. Maybe ads in Italy have names, and this one is called "The Beautiful Alcachofa?" It looks like a typical ad...anyone have any idea why this guy sees it as having "miss-stepped entirely?"

edit 2: And here's a link to what I think is the "Zanzibar" ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8uOLeOFHhg Again, I don't understand what the objection is.

I would love to edit this section, but I can't even get a good idea of what was intended in the first place. Ormewood (talk) 02:16, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up that section. In addition to being hard to comprehend, it wasn't remotely encyclopedic at all. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
