Killing the tags[edit]

I killed the stack of nastygrams at the top of the article:

  • POV: No further information about what might be biased.
  • Notability: We have articles for similarly unimportant American goods, like neosporin.
  • References: I added a reference.

Prose and MoS[edit]

Lede[edit]

History[edit]

  • symbolizing strength and prosperity and inspired, add comma after prosperity.

Marketing[edit]

  • During the early 1900s, it was considered a matter of pride to be using the locally made Boroline over other similar foreign creams., considering the product was made in the 1920s, the decade should be made closer to when Boroline was considered as such.

  • During this time, the company was run by..., what time?
1950, added Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 9 doesn't seem reliable due to the nature of its website focusing on health claims. Hopefully change and omit the source.

Spotchecks[edit]

  • Spotchecks, manual and earwig show nothing. Pass.

Images[edit]

I'll go through and see if I can find a properly dated advertisement of the product. Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
