If I understand correctly, the idea of a wiki is to discuss the articles in order to improve the information and the way it is presented. So here it goes.
I think the presented method is sound. However there might be some pitfalls for people trying to translate it to their selection of hones. Therefor I believe their should be a list of hones, known to be successful with the presented method. I have a great deal of experience with the Belgian hones, and I know that if someone would use a Belgian Blue with slurry for the 4K-hone and a Coticule with water for the 8K hone, together with decreasing layers of tape (as suggested in the article), the results will be very disappointing. (I personally disagree with rating the Belgian hones that way, but almost everybody does)
I would like to suggest advising one single layer of tape on during the formation of the bevel on the coarser hones, in order to prevent the spine from excessive wear. A complete bevel should be formed on the below 2K level. After that the tape may be removed for further refining and polishing. (A link should be included here, to an article that discusses the use of tape)
Edit away to your heart's content!
At the moment, this Wiki is a moving target. I think you should edit what you think is necessary, and leave a short explanation in the comment field. Otherwise, we'll re-create the forum in the talk pages :)
