Talk:Black Widow (paint mix)

“Black Widow paint mix” it quite notable by searching on Google – people making this screen and discussing all over Internet, praising authors of idea (links to main forums are in the article). It is not only cheap to make, but performs very good as well – there are comparison photos on Internet between “Black Widow” and commercial screens. Links to materials and manufacturers can be removed, but it is the main point – to find materials and make your own projection screen easily and cheaply (for about quarter of a price, you could pay for commercial screen). Project to find and test all right paints and mix combinations was (and I hope, still is) non-commercial, but materials, unfortunately, nonetheless how cheap they are, are not free. Manufacturers don't mix colours and sell them directly from their main pages. So, I suggested, it is useful to find and link to some International commercial sellers with good reputation (these links can be changed, if someone will cover more or even all World's countries with smaller prices). Now people can go to Wikipedia and get all information they need. I spend many hours to understand and to find everything I need – even different descriptions of the same paint on various forums is confusing. Out of frustration about this, I created this article. For me and for others this Wikipedia article will save time and will be much easier to find and make everything – if Wikipedia can provide such help for people.

I have made some edits to try to improve the article a little. There were far too many external links, in violation of WP:ELNO guidelines. There are still no reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, journals, books or news web sites) to establish notability of the subject. Also, the mix(es) are attributed to two people (on internet forums?), whose usernames are listed. This screams of lack of notability. If the topic is notable, there should be articles (not forum posts) on the subject with the names of real people. Remember this is an encyclopedia of knowledge, not a "how to" website. I hope this helps. - MrX 13:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
