Interesting article o good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Hook: I thought I was in the wrong article, - the pipe is too much od an Easter egg for my taste. Can you perhaps link to the company, and say it's advertising cards? I'd accept Echte Wagner for a pipe. How about a pic? - In the article, please check for German words italic, and missing spaces. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC)- Another wish for the article: tell in the lead what they produce and sell. The name suggests margarine, but then, in the card, come cocoa ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt:, I was tempted to ask if you were interested in the history of margarine. The article went through several titles, I think the hook must have been based on an earlier version, so I have updated it for the current title. I believe that the image is unsuitable for the main page as 1930 is too recent for public domain, if you know more about German copyright, please say. It is on Commons at File:Zukunftsfantasien12 4.jpg, but due to be deleted. I have added some more italics, I couldn't see any missing spaces, but that is probably my eyesight. @RAJIVVASUDEV: may also wish to comment. TSventon (talk) 17:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I didn't think the mention of cocoa was confusing, as that section is about the background to the cards not about Echte Wagner. Would Stollwerck cocoa be clearer? Echte Wagner cards did not start until later. Apparently, in addition to Kunstbutter (artificial butter), they also made Kunsthonig (artificial honey), but I didn't think that was necessary.

Thank you, - understand now much better. I still think the lead should say that they produced margarine (not only cards), but up to you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, thank you, I have clarified the lead as you suggested. I found an article for Brooke Bond, another former company known for its collectible cards. TSventon (talk) 14:14, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
