Relevant or not

One user did not like that I added links to a source that show that hemp hurds was vaste (hemp hurds is the part of the hemp stem that don¨t contain long fiber). Hemp hurds was in 1937 not used by paper mills. Jack Herers theory claim that the newsprint king Hearst had a financial interest in a ban for Hemp. The claim is based on the assumption that "hemp hurds" could become a "threat" for Hearst timber holdings as a raw material for paper.

An article from 1937 give this information:

- Demand for cellulose was increasing FLAX AND HEMP: FROM THE SEED TO THE LOOM, Mechanical Engineering Magazine, February 1937 - Hemp was a possible alternative. but the process making paper from hemp hurds was in 1937 only a vision, not something that paper mills used in the US or Canada. - Other sources show that important improvements were made in how to deink recycled waste paper.US Patent 2077059 A, 1937

Newsprint from recycled paper was a much more realistic alternative than paper from hemp hurds. Paper from the long fibers in hemp had become too expensive. Jack Herers theory about hemp hurds could become a "threat" to Hearst profits has very low credibility. As I see it is relevant to add information that oppose Jack Herers theory about a "treat" from hemp. Dala11a (talk) 16:28, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dala11a. Although your information may be factual history, it is more detailed than is necessary for an encyclopedia; see WP:NOT and I have reverted your edits, so WP:CONSENSUS applies. Also, it appears English is not your native language so please practice writing content in your sandbox or post edits first on the Talk page for other editors to determine whether to include the information and edit it. Lastly, please do not edit war, WP:EW. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 18:58, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You avoids answering the question of why you think the text is too deeply into the details. Jack Herer sold more that 600 000 books about hemp and many believed himDala11a (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
