Quick question: How can something have 100 percent market share? Wouldn't that mean that there are no other dip manufacturers (or that no tins are being sold)? Thanks. Csieb2011 March 9, 2009

ííííííÔÜThis page has a large POV problem. The article was obviously written by someone who was strongly biased against this product. I removed some of the more obvious POV problems (messages written in bold font, or typed in all caps), but a lot more work is needed. DaveTheRed 04:10, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You seem to have done a nice job cleaning up the POV language of this article. Would you object to removing the POV dispute template from the article, or do you still have specific concerns? On a separate note, it seems to me that the article now has mostly language that needs copyediting and is perhaps in need of an image. Also, the "health concerns" section is a bit short (compare to similar sections for cigarettes, for example). Is there a separate page about the dangers of tobacco products that would be more apropriate to link to in lieu of the very very short current section? --ABQCat 10:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

After removing an offending sentence or two, I've decided to remove the POV template, as I think this article is much closer to NPOV. The Health Concerns section needs to be expanded by someone who knows more about Skoal than I do. Dave the Red (talk) 18:40, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

I agree there are major problems with this article. It should be specific to Skoal, not Dip in general. Also the Health Concerns sections is unsubstantiated. There is evidence that Dip is safer than Cigarrettes, look into the Swedish experience. Kfort 3 July 2005 23:21 (UTC)
