I was looking around on Wikipedia for something and ended up looking at the tatuaje article and noticed that it was fairly well done. I took a look around as some others (AF, Padron, La Gloria Cubana) and found that they were severely lacking in info. So I started to add a bit to the Padron. The reason I am posting this is twofold. One, it would be nice if someone would look over what I added for Padron just as a proofread. And two, it would be nice if people added to the information on other cigar articles. I know there are a lot of people on the board who have a wealth of information to impart on the digital world.

Perhaps CS should start a wiki group? Could be fun!!! Call it Wiki-Herf or something?!!?!?
My blog partner on Keepers of the Flame wrote up a fairly comprehensive background on Padron here.
And in case anyone is interested, we just finished a rundown of all the vitolas in the "classic" Padron Series. With the help of guest reviewers (TXMatt and McCharlie from CS gave us a hand) we did comparison reviews of natural and maduro in each size. We're working on a "vertical" review that should be ready in a couple weeks.
Be warned, the reviews are extremely verbose, but the photos are great. If interested, here's the link:

The problem with Wiki is ANYONE can change the information which is why I generally don't rely on anything from that site.
:tpd: It's my very last resort when I go looking for information. Not a fan.

I agree that this is an issue. However, I believe it is still a valuable site. There are enough check in place that generaly things are fixed rather quickly. That being said you need to be wary of anything you read on the internet or anywhere else.

This is not entirely true. I think that most (if not all?) entries requires you to be a registered user before you can edit something, and some entries are moderated. But yes, it is not the smartest thing to accept everything on the internet at face value...

The problem with most places on the internent, CS included, is that anybody can write anything. Caveat emptor, learn to separate wheat from chaff and all that.
Wikipedia is much maligned but studies where information from Wikipedia and other textbooks were presented to experts in various fields, Wikipedia came out quite well.
It's true. I read it on Wikipedia.
